Nina Sallinen
Nina! This episode is in Finnish.
This my first video podcast, and this can also be found on YouTube channel With Miska Podcast Episodes.
Nina is a good friend of mine, and I have known her for years. She lives in L.A, and has lived here for a long time. She’s an actress, and she does quite a lot of theatre. Much more than many of her (and my) colleagues in Los Angeles. We talk a lot about theatre, and also about her one person show Poor Poor Lear.
We have a very inspiring talk about her life, how she got her start in theatre in Finland, and then went to Finnish Theatre Academy, and how she ended up in Los Angeles. Nina has created a nice life for herself and for her family here in California.
We recorded this at Nina’s yard, so you will hear some crickets in the background.
Nina and me have also performed live-streamed improvised shows for Finlandia Foundation here in the US, and you are able to watch them on the following links:
