Tuuli Vahtola (she/her) is a freelance dance and performance artist based in Helsinki. Her latest works are Here, there, somewhere (2023), shown in New Performance Turku Biennale, and intimate expectations (2023), co-coreographed with Ella Skoikka, presented in Contemporary Art Space Kutomo in Turku.
Tuuli is interested in the scattered spaces, logics and threads performances might generate. Her works have explored intimacy and choreographed touch, the senses and corporeality of language. Those connect to a larger interest of social relationalities, realities and responsibilities and the possibility of queering them through experimental performance.
As a performer Tuuli has recently been working with choreographers Sonja Jokiniemi and Oda Brekke. Tuuli is a member of Precarious Practices, a Helsinki based working group of twelve freelance dance artists and choreographers focusing on sharing artistic practices and unfinished work. Previously Tuuli has performed in works by e.g. Miguel Gutierrez, Benoît Lachambre, Runa Norheim, Isabelle Schad and the Trisha Brown Company. In 2024, Tuuli was a danceWEB Scholarship recipient at the ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival, nominated by Moving in November.
Tuuli holds a BA in Dance Performance from DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts (2017).
