Jag arbetar med samtida dans och koreografi. Med samtidsdans menar jag dans som inte bara formas av historiska maktordningar, vana och förutfattade meningar om dans utan kontinuerligt omformas och tar sig nya uttrycksformer. Ofta utifrån en känsla av angelägenhet och en vilja att beröra, påverka och förändra. Jag är nyfiken på en förståelse för (dans)konst som ett gruppkroppsligt, ”a-personligt” uttryck. En konstform där användandet och utvecklandet av uttrycket utgör grundbultarna i en pågående och kollektiv innovation. I mina senaste verk har jag drivits av ett intresse för bl.a textur, asmr-ljud och ljudeffekter till dans och fortsatt utforska en kollektiv protagonist där t.ex ett lag eller en kör är huvudroll.
I work with contemporary dance and choreography. Contemporary dance is to me dance that is not only formed and informed by historical power structures, habit, pre-existing opinions and expectations about dance but something which is continually re-negotiated, takes on new forms and means of expression from a sense of urgency and a wish to influence, change and touch. I think it is exciting to understand dance as a commons where using and developing creates the shared ongoingness of innovation.
Middle short bio!

In 2020 she premiered the piece DUNKA DUNKA at DansPlats Skog in Hälsingland, a collaboration with Daniel IInatti in which the audience is surrounded by sounds of mud, scents, sub bass and wrestling choir singers.
