He has also performed at The Royal Opera House in Turandot and Macbeth and worked on commercial projects in the UK including appearances at The Record of the Year Awards and The Brit Awards.

Jarkko received a Herald Angel Award for excellence in his performance of Ashley Page works during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2005.

Jarkko joins a very exciting lineup offering 23 performances from 19 companies over 3 evenings, with other highlights including Slanjayvah Danza, Pair Dance, Taciturn's triple-bill, Isadora Duncan dance from Julia Pond Dance, a new work from Diciembre Dance Group (replacing Hurst & Griffiths), Blueprint Bursary Prize winner James Wilton, BBC's So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Sol Dans and many more.
