Cecilia is a Finnish actor and director based in Helsinki. As an actor she has worked both on screen and on stage since she graduated from the Theater Academy in Helsinki in 2005. In recent years she has increasingly moved into directing and dramaturgy, staging cross-disciplinary works such as Bivalvia Lepidoptera (2024–2025) and the solo piece ren_essens (2026), and is currently directing and dramatizing Till Vågorna, a stage work combining theatre, orchestral music and a documentary underwater film, premiering in 2028 at Konepaja in collaboration with Sirius Teatern, Tapiola Sinfonietta and Åbo Akademi.

Her directing is rooted in the belief that we are not separate from nature but part of it, and she works in a listening, collaborative way rather than a hierarchical one.

Her mother tongue is Swedish but she speaks fluently both Finnish and English. She also speaks Dutch and some German because of her Dutch and German roots.

2010–2022 she was a member of the cast at the Swedish National Theater in Helsinki, Finland.

Since 2024 she is part of the artistic management team at Sirius Teatern, where she also directs. Sirius Teatern is located at Konepaja in Vallila, Helsinki.

She gets inspired by cross over projects, innovative, imaginative and well functioning working groups with a wide diversity in ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation, ideas and expertise.

Scripts with strong female leads are near to her heart.

She loves to work with kind hearted professionals who aim high. Having fun while working is also something she appreciates highly.

Lead words in her work are: CURIOSITY, AUTHENTICITY & PLAY

Yoga, meditation, knitting, reading, nature, running, swimming, snorkling, ice-bathing & sauna are dear routines for her, as well as her pottery, painting and drawing hobby.

“The more I work as an artist, the more interested and devoted I get to create. I continuously want to learn and develop not only as an artist but in all fields of my life. I love meeting and getting to know new people, to play, laugh, inspire and get inspired. I am curious and want to learn new things, and I want to stay open-minded to the world and the people living in it as long as I'm alive. For creative people to be excited is the only way, or terrified.”
