Myllyteatteri is organising art workshops for artists in cooperation with Stoa and Maunula House in October and November 2025.
The workshops are aimed at artists who have moved to Finland from abroad. Also local born artists are welcome. Artists with background in any field of art are welcome (dance, theatre, literature, music, visual arts etc.).
The workshops are free of charge. They offer the opportunity to meet other artists and network at the same time. Depending on your schedule, you can participate several times or just once.

Workshop facilitator:
Suvi Ermilä (b. 1985 in Tampere) is a visual artist based in Helsinki. She often works with Indian ink, drawing nib and brush. Her recent comics deal with miscommunication, feelings of not belonging and family dynamics, often mixing comic and sad undertones. She has published three comic books: Vastaanottokeskus (Suuri Kurpitsa 2021), Jälki (Suuri Kurpitsa 2018) ja Hauho (Suuri Kurpitsa 2017). “Vastaanottokeskus” won the Comics Finlandia prize for the best book of 2022.
She loves to paint with oil and acrylic colors and enjoys relaxing at her family’s summer cottage in Hauho.
Theatre Workshop

Time: 27.11. 2025, 17-19
Yuko Takeda will lead a theatre workshop exploring collective storytelling through imagination, body, voice, and presence. No prior theatre experience is required – the most important things are curiosity and a willingness to dive in. Storytelling is fun, liberating, and offers new perspectives on both self-expression and working together.
