Soili Huhtakallio (she/they) is a choreographer who works between the precision of gesture and the wildness of sensation. Her practice moves through the body's gravitational intelligence and traces how thought, emotion, and awareness become visible in movement.

She creates collaborative works that explore embodied knowledge. Current, on-going projects include Blaa Blaa, a choreography for twelve to sixteen dancers shaped by the experience of being overwhelmed and the music of Max Richter, and a new solo, RED. With the Energpriests collective, she is also developing Meeting the Universe Halfway, a participatory performance experience, with the working title borrowed from Karen Barad’s book with the same name. Her work has been presented in Zodiak, Theatre Universum and music festivals like Barokki Kuopio and Time of Music.

Trained in dance since the age of four and shaped by decades of practice across styles, Soili holds a BA in Dance and an MA in Choreography from Uniarts Helsinki, where she graduated in 2016. She has worked with choreographers such as Kirsi Monni, Petri Kekoni and Sonja Jokiniemi, and a collaborative article written with Aliina Lindroos has been published in Uniarts Helsinki’s publication series. She has received half- and full-year artist grants from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Irish dance remains her enduring hobby and a counter-rhythm to her daily practice.
