Arvi Yrjölä

‘I consider myself a dancer as well as an acrobat.’ Arvi knew at 13 that he wanted to be a perfromer. In 2022, as a final-year student at Codarts Circus Arts, he collaborated on the creation of Oscar. 

He is influenced and inspired by modern dance and considers himself both a dancer and an acrobat. He wants to unite both as inseparable forms of expression.

He really enjoys the circus as a combination of creative freedom and technical mastery of one's craft.

About working with the Scapino dancers "The precision and sophistication with which they dance is a source of inspiration to me. Not only that, but the loving and encouraging atmosphere I experience among the dancers makes me feel enormously grateful."
