In 2017 she had a soloist role in Tero Saarinen‘s Kullervo.

During her extensive career at the National Ballet, Johanna also created her own productions on stage and on film. Her award-winning dance films have been presented at over 40 international film festivals and her stage works at several dance festivals in Finland and abroad.
