- Juuso-Matias – the site-

This page is about an artist-expert in portraying violence and intimacy. It is about an advocate for stuctures and sustainability. It tells you of a wayfarer of inner worlds and ruthlessly consensual pedagogy. It is an invitation to be human beings – and do art – together.

This site has two intentions. First it presents me as an expert in performing arts. I tell about my research, teaching experiences and expertise with the help of pictures, words and lists. Besides the professional profile, it presents also what I do outside my profession. There are so many essential things to care about in this world, and I want to do my part in the process. This page tells a story of a performing artist and of a conscientious human being. 

Below here you can find five pictures / links that describe the different facets of me. These links can also be found in the basic structure of this page above. The phrasing of them is just a bit different. Colour schemes of the site are quite simple. Orange is associated with artistic work within productions. Blue has something to do with research or education. Black and Grey-scale colours are biting to the reality: rights at work, citizen-activism within enviroment and human issues and then on to my own, personal identity.

As is typical to this world and to me, also this site is in motion. It is an ever-developing draft. If you encounter mistakes somewhere, please let me know.

Artist-Expert

I work often in an expert role with heightened physicality, violence and intimacy, in performing arts and within media. Behind this link, you can read more about these areas of expertise.

Human being
