I work as an interdisciplinary performing artist mainly using movement, sound and text as tools for exploring our surroundings. My work takes place in all kinds of spaces and invites the audience to actively collaborate with movement and imagination through tasks, scores and various forms of participation. Simultaneously being one of the four artists behind the festival Sånafest, working continuously in the choreographic duo A MasIng together with the Italian dance artist Masako Matsushita and performing in the interdisciplinary Theater F.
