Who am I?
My name is Ona Korpiranta and I’m a director and playwright. I graduated from the BA/MA Directing program of the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki in June 2021. New plays and modern drama are close to my heart. I hope to work diversely in the field of performing arts and continue to write my own texts for theatre stages. My debut play Sinä päivänä kun Luoja teki isän was selected to the official programme of Tampere Theatre Festival in 2020 and 2021.
