Biography

BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Finland in a small town called Oulu.
I ran, skated and danced my way to the circus. Finnish National Circus came to our backyard every summer and that was an inspiration to me. I found my way into studying circus at the University of Applied Sciences in Turku, and later at the National Centre for Circus Arts in London. I found my discipline - tightwire - through studies and it was love at first sight. It’s a love-hate relationship, finding the perfect balance. After graduating I have worked as a circus performer and a teacher. I also tour with a Finnish cult band Leningrad Cowboys and I am the founder of Lumo Company.

WIREDO

With her body, a tightwire and a physical composition
that draws on the Japanese rope art of Shibari, Hanna Moisala's WireDo tells a mesmerising story of stepping out to the unknown.

The three-dimensional Wiredo explores the inner balance of human behaviour with the question:

"What happens to the body when it chooses to surrender
and be manipulated?"

Moisala´s daring tightwire stunts combined with long Shibari-ropes and elaborate knots offer an unprecedented spectacle.

Nuanc3d

Nuanc3d is a performance at the crossroads of contemporary circus, media art and live electronic music.

Nuanc3d is a vibrant motion sensor-based performance and a dynamic discussion between different art forms, latest technology and human bodies.

Performers and media designers are in dialogue using a computer program to create sound reactive visual footage from the movement of the circus artists to the white screens.

This urban outdoor show will be performed at dark so the bright visual images will have a stronger aesthetic effect. The show is created for touring in street art festivals and it is easy to place in a variety of urban events outdoors and inside.
