Ulla Tikka
After graduating from high school in Finland, Ulla Tikka trained as a tightrope walker in Paris and Berlin (graduating in 2000). She has performed worldwide with various contemporary circus companies (including Cirkus Cirkör and Les Colporteurs) and then increasingly satisfied her artistic urge with her own productions.
She is currently on the road with her Cie Roikkuva and several productions. Parallel to her stage work, she works as a lecturer in acrobatics and tightrope walking. In recent years, she has also repeatedly taken on challenges as a choreographer and director (e.g. Zirkus Chnopf, Circus Monti, Fahraway).
