Milja Salovaara

Milja Salovaara (born 1972, Helsinki) is a Finnish costume designer and scenographer/set designer. She has worked in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

In 2010, Salovaara received the Heddaprice for the best visual design for her scenography in En folkefiende (An Enemy of the People) at the Trøndelag Theater. The jury statement was as follows:

"Staging visual design can either be minimalist, grotesquely lavish or realistic illusion-creating. Everything is allowed, as long scene image both expands and completes the totality of the production. This exactly characterizes this year's laureate is here created an open, seemingly utterly simple yet complex scene image with sober elegance actors gave an extra dimension to play against and with, without ever taking the focus from the text. This scene picture was an independent artistic expression from the beginning created curiosity got new rooms and venues to occur, change and disappear, and supported and enhanced story."[1]
