I have known Marjo-Riikka for over 15 years, and she has helped me a lot in making Los Angeles my home. Even though Marjo-Riikka still lives in LA, she spends more time in Finland now, since she's also teaching at the University of the Arts Helsinki, at Theatre Academy.
Marjo-Riikka has various passions, and one of them is animals. We go into detail how she saves baby opossums and helps birds. I don't personally know anyone who is such an animal lover like Marjo-Riikka, and in our conversation she tells how strong connection she has with animals.
Marjo-Riikka also tells in detail how she uses Michael Chekhov Technique in her teaching. She won't reveal how to get into Theatre Academy of Finland, but at least she talks a bit about the school auditions.
