The priority is on working with diverse movement and performance practice to collaborate with different disciplines in a frame of theatre laboratory, which allows for exchange and co-learning. Renewing the old artistic and managerial structures is of top importance.
Patterns of our humanity and the systems we have constructed to sustain us act as inspiration. Comparative dramaturgy and performance research act as the guiding tools.
From 2019 Joni has worked with a multitude of theatres and festivals:
Finnish National Ballet, Finnish National Opera, Staatsoper Wien, Volksoper Wien, Theater an der Wien, Salzburger Festspiele, La Strada Graz
