VILLE VUORIKOSKI

dramaturge, director

Helsinki, Finland

In my work, I have approached the stage through the roles of dramaturge, playwright, translator, director, sound designer and actor. My strengths lie in co-operation, listening and shaking things up. When I can't sleep, I fantasize about directing my own texts, but I also gladly write for other directors and work as a dramaturge in text- or process-based pieces. 

I am one of the three founding members of the Tampere-based arts collective Iva, which specializes in site-specific performances and events.

Currently I'm wrapping up my master's degree in Dramaturgy and Playwriting (Uniarts Helsinki, Theatre Academy). 

What turns me on:

- extremes 

- precision in rhythm and composition

- filth

- melodrama

- typography

- multilinguality

- self-loathing
