Rosanna Liuski - Page 4
Rosanna "IL☉" Liuski (she/they) has been passionate about theatre for the past decade. Her biggest achievements as an actor have been in Rambo at Finnish National Theatre, directed by Elina Kilkku, 2015; SKAM at Culture House Martinus, Finland's premiere, directed by Tiina Brännare, 2020; On Your Lips short film directed by Joonas Rutanen, Making Movies 2012, that received the best National short -award.
As a critic she always looks for the deeper meanings in the performances, either psychologically, politically or philosophically. "Theatre is for entertainment, a moment for escape, but most importantly for growth; an imaginative pathway to understand the world", is her view on theatre.
Her goal is to become a director and writer in the field, and she recently graduated as a physiotherapist from Metropolia UAS. During her studies they worked at the National Opera and Ballet, Helsinki City Theatre and UniArts, Theatre Academy.
Ilo is interested in the biopsychosocial viewpoint of both arts and health; breathing, flow and safe eroticism or enjoyment, which she believes is going to help her to become a succesful director as well.
She has been Finland's admin since Autumn 2018.

- BWW Review: I Didn't Like KNIVES OUT And Here's Why - Everyone hyped Knives out - I didn't. And I couldn't find anyone else who didn't. Decided to be the first and so far it's received over 30K hits!
- BWW Review: FIRST EPISODE OF BAD APPLES (MÄDÄT OMENAT) BARELY WORKS AND HERE'S WHY - Too short and blunt cuts are maybe the worst sin in Finnish TV. Bad apples was a great example of that, unfortunately.
- Review: CATS THE MUSICAL, International Tour - It's unbelievable I got to see CATS in Finland! I wrote a petition to review it maybe year and a half in advance and checked a box that said I could be called in with a short notice.
- BWW Finland: TIM MINCHIN of MATILDA THE MUSICAL PRAISES FINLAND'S 'REVOLTING CHILDREN', See the Music Video! - Harjanne is a mega popular musical director here in Finland. A director with Guildford training. The original composer took notice of his show on twitter, gaining attention in the social media. I decided to emphasize it though I couldn't ever make it to see the actual show. I blame my physiotherapy studies.
- ARVIO: MAIJALAN PIMPSONS ON BRUTAALI JA TARKKA KUVAUS ERI SELVIYTYMISKEINOISTA - Maijala is one of my favorite directors and it was very fun to review a show that was "vaguely" based off of a popular American TV series...

What did our critic think of PRISCILLA BY SAMUEL HARJANNE AT HELSINKI CITY THEATRE? Priscilla is a heartwarming, boogie-along jukebox musical of your favorite disco hits! Filled with beaming lights, glitter and meaning Priscilla reminds how not to take life so seriously, not it's brights nor its storms - and one will always end up finding like-minded people. Even from the mids of a desert!

Mitä Liuski ajatteli Kellariteatterin esityksestä?

Olen suomalainen tuo Kari Tapion elämän lavalle iloineen ja suruineen, kuten ohjaaja-koreografi Osku Heiksanen lupaa käsiohjelmassa. Myös mielenkiintoista oli lukea, että Karin Tapion poika Joona on auttanut esityksen teossa, jakaen muistoja isästään. Esitys on saanut ensi-iltansa 2019.

HIT theatre collective brought us L'Accident de Bertrand (fin. Bertrandin kohtaus) by Emilie Leconte at Kaapelitehdas. It had its premiere in Finland, excluding its reading in Reading European Drama Festival, Helsinki 2019. The text itself is eventful and interesting with many layers and possibilities in its execution. It does proceed as if it was a dream.

Unlike the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit is a book targeted for children. Thus the crew had seemingly made a choice to stay true to its source material. Things are kept simple and even the most scary stone-trolls are made less scary with a funny accent. Gandalf comes forth to tell the story as if a narrator and fight choreographs by Oula Kitti are witty and flowing rather than violent-looking.

Marian tunnustus - muistokirjoitus hevoselle on vakuuttava kotimainen uutuusteos. Sen yksi inspiraation lähteistä on Eeva Mesiäisen elämäkerta Maria Kajavan pitkä taival, joka kertoo inkerinsuomalaisesta Mariasta. Hänellä oli poikkeuksellinen palo luterilaisen seurakunnan perustamiseen aikana, jolloin uskonto oli kokonaan kielletty ja rikollista. Esitykseen ohjaaja-käsikirjoittaja Hanna Kirjavainen on myös tuonut omaa pohdintaa pyhästä, ihmisen suhteesta luontoon ja eläimiin oman hevosensa Pojun menettämisensä kautta: '-- olin pitkään kokenut hevosen läsnäolossa jotain sakraalia, mystistä ja perustavanlaatuista olemassaoloa -- Tunsin vahvasti, että se taluttaa minua kielen tuolle puolen, vaikenemisen ja 'sellaisenaan toteutumisen' ulottuvuuteen, jonne ihmismieli ei yllä.' Näin syntyi fiktiivinen teos Mariasta, joka todella pohtii niin teologisia, kielellisiä (tarkemmin metalingvistisiä), kuin ikiaikaisia rakkauden ja anteeksiannon kysymyksiä.

I got invited to the TAMK's musical students' premiere of Song For a New World. It's been directed by a leading musical actor Petrus Kähkönen who now took the job of a director. He had a challenge of arranging a show that was originally performed by four people in a form of a concert now into a musical for 15 performers. He did well. Let's dig into the review:

Red Nose Companyn Aleksis Kivi
February 16, 2022
Kansallisteatterin 150-vuotisjuhlavuodelle Suurelle näyttämölle tuodaan aiheellisesti Red Nose Companyn Aleksis Kivi, jonka kansallisromanttista maailmaa säestää kamariorkesteri Avanti. Ensi-iltansa teos saa 17.2.2022, josta se jatkaa kiertueelle eri puolelle Suomea. Haastattelin teoksen dramaturgia Eva Buchwaldia, joka toimii myös Kansallisteatterin vakituisena dramaturgina, sekä ohjaajaa Linda Wallgrenia sähköpostin välityksellä. Olen itse teoksesta täpinöissäni. Kivellä on minulle erityinen paikka sydämessä ja hänen viimeiseksi lauseekseen huhuttu Minä elän koristi aikoinaan huoneeni seinää. Katsotaan, mitä tekijöillä on sanottavana:

'I’m never in a situation where I’m thinking that now I’m gonna direct a pause. I answer the same way as in the previous one that if it makes sense to me then I let it be. But if it doesn’t make sense I start discussing with the actor why are you doing like this? What are you thinking, what are you feeling? And then you go through that' - Harjanne

'RÈvolution is here and ready to give the stage to the Invisible Ones! RÉvolution is the second performance from the clown-duo Babylon and RÉ. The performance studies the meaning of being seen through clownery and comedy. How one finds an own voice and how to make it heard? Whose responsibility is it to talk about oppression and can guilt be the force of change?' - rednose.fi

A performance starts as early as in the green room (lämpiö). Everything was lit with a subtle, almost unnoticeable red light. It's the color of bravery and the femininity, a color of a sacrifice - though before the 1940s it was the color of the masculine.
