Ulla Tikka

Nach der Matura in Finnland hat sich Ulla Tikka in Paris und Berlin zur Seiltänzerin ausbilden lassen (Abschluss 2000). Sie ist weltweit mit verschiedenen zeitgenössischen Circus-Compagnien aufgetreten (u.a. Cirkus Cirkör und Les Colporteurs) und hat dann immer mehr mit Eigenproduktionen ihren künstlerischen Drang befriedigt.
Zurzeit ist sie mit ihrer Cie Roikkuva und mehreren Inszenierungen unterwegs. Parallel zu ihrer Bühnentätigkeit arbeitet sie als Dozentin für Akrobatik und Seiltanz. In den letzten Jahren hat sie immer wieder auch Herausforderungen als Choreographin und Regisseurin angenommen (u.a. Zirkus Chnopf, Circus Monti, Fahraway).
