About me
View profile
I’m Marjo Lahti, a Finnish actress with a passion for telling stories through screen and stage. 
I´m a member of an international physical theatre company called Spindrift Theatre and I work as a freelancer in the Helsinki region as well as abroad. 
I’ve explored diverse roles as a professional actress from dramatic theatre to TV and film and my latest work was in the TV crime series called Koskinen. 
I studied in Pedagogical studies of drama, Helsinki University of applied sciences 2006, and in Theatre academy, Trainee program of acting 1998-2000.
 I have also studied and taught contact improvisation, Michael Chekhov Technique and worked with dancers in Finland and in Iceland. 
 I´m passionate about martial arts and at the moment I´m training boxing several times a week. I’m drawn to physical theatre, and in TV and in film emotionally complex or misunderstood characters. I thrive in collaborations that challenge and inspire.
