Curiosity:
For us, curiosity means innovation and creativity, fearlessness, and an open mind. It is an interest in new phenomena and art forms. We are not afraid to step outside our comfort zone; we embrace calculated risks and even the possibility of failure.
Togetherness:
In all our activities, we stand with people. Togetherness means respecting our fellow human beings. It is the way we engage with our audience and our colleagues in the theatre.
Openness:
We take diversity into account in all our processes and consider openness the best way to develop Finnish society. Accessibility—meaning that our services are suitable and available to everyone regardless of a person’s functional capacity—is also a form of openness.
Quality:
Our operations are of a high standard, professional, and artistically excellent. Quality also means sustainability and responsibility. Quality applies to all of the theatre’s processes, and its continuous development is an essential part of our operations.
Espoon teatteri is more than our name – it is our philosophy and purpose.Espoon teatteristrategy
