• CircusTalk would like to congratulate Lotta Nevalainen on her recent promotion to Acting Manager Director of CircusInfo Finland.

Lotta Nevalainen, CircusInfo Finland’s Head of International Development, has been offered (and accepted) the new position of Acting Manager Director. She is continuing her previous position, and took on her new role beginning in September.

The promotion coincides with CircusInfo Finland taking on new projects.

Lotta Nevalainen gave the following comments regarding her new role:

“For Circusinfo Finland, the autumn brings the launch of two international projects and related open calls. The international work remains very important for us and we will also continue with the domestic projects as planned with Johanna Mäkelä. I trust that the situation of the circus field will brighten up as the corona situation is getting easier – we look forward to seeing live circus again after a long break.”

Congratulations Lotta!
