“Working with Marjo-Riikka is always inspiring and at the same time effective.
Marjo-Riikka has an incredible sensitivity for what people need to fully use their potential as a performer. Her way of working is always gentle and respectful, while it is also fun and playful.

I think that I have learned quite a bit about directing just by being present while Marjo-Riikka has worked with my actors.

I have also learned a lot about thankfulness and supportiveness as a general attitude when working as an ensemble.

Somehow Marjo-Riikka’s work has affected, not only the way I direct, but also the way I look at life and write about it.
