Hanna Hautala
North Ostrobothnia, Siikalatva
I am originally from Oulu, currently residing in Siikalatva, but widely travelling in Northern Finland as a multi-talented performing artist. I am a trained theatre director (AMK). I have also completed the Pyörre programme in arts management and project management at the University of the Arts Helsinki.
I have worked in institutional theatres in many roles, as a director and actor in independent productions, as a director for several amateur theatres, and as a theatre teacher at art high schools.
I have been the executive director of the Hailuoto Theatre Festival for over ten years and am a founding member of the festival's support association. Through the association, I have been involved in producing various theatre events and guest performances over the years.
