PAULA VIITANEN ALDAZOSA
interdisciplinary artist
ABOUT
Paula Viitanen Aldazosa, currently based in so-called Vancouver, BC, is an interdisciplinary theatre artist with a diverse artistic practice of set and installation design, photography, carpentry and technical direction. She found her love for theatre and performing arts in the Finnish National Theatre, where she worked while completing a degree in Industrial Joinery in Helsinki, Finland. Since relocating to so-called Vancouver in 2014, she has completed a BFA in Theatre: Production and Design from Simon Fraser University. She is currently interested in approaching the process of creation through the framework of rhythm, patterns and devising. The ephemerality and uniqueness of site specific work and the act of inviting unexpected characteristics of a location to influence the process are themes she considers in her work.
