Meet me

Hi! I am a creative soul with many plans and ideas. Always looking for ways to learn, develop and share my passion for the art of dance and movement.

My creating, performing and teaching sides fuels and strengthens each other. Through different jobs and projects, I build my path and expression in the world of movement, dance, culture and art.

THE BEGINNING:

I started dancing in high school in a small town north in Trøndelag, Norway at the age of 16. My dance journey continued in Norway and Sweden at different dance programs, before I then took a Bachelor in Modern Theatre Dance at the University of the Arts in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Here I got a broad and steady training within the styles of contemporary, improvisation and ballet. The training and tools gave me a good foundation to build my physical expression upon. Since then, I’ve continued to broaden my physical horizons, learning new performative skills and developing the ones I already have.

After a couple of years freelancing with Amsterdam as my base, I came autumn 2016 back to Norway full time. To add teaching to my knowledge, taking PPU. Since then I have been living in Norway again in different places. Dancing, creating and teaching both regionally, nationally and internationally

10 years in the workingfield.

After three years of training in Amsterdam, I started my freelance journey. I went in autumn 2014 back to Norway to do a smal internship with a company. That did not happen. They had made other plans, and forgotten me. Lucky Denmark and @dongnudk physical theater took me under their wings, and the performance N.A.R.G, became a wonderful adventure now and then over 2 years 🙏🏻🧡 Thank you so much guys for the kickstart.

Looking back on the past 10 years, they somewhat went fast. Wonderful projects, people, moments, training and growth..that needs time. This text cannot comprehend it all. A lot though of what I would love to have, need and want now did not happen..but a lot did 🙏🏻 and stuff I could not foresee. This is the thing with the art/culture/dance field (and life) it is hard to predict the road. You dance it as you go,  take what opportunities are given, and create the ones that don't. 🤸🏻‍♀️
.
Dance itself has been a huge support through hard times and different kinds of griefs. Even the ones that the working field and people in it have given me. I find strength and happiness in keep on moving, sharing, producing, teaching, developing and creating. 🎉
.
Good thoughts are sent and a HUGE thank you to all the wonderful people who I got to work with so far, met, and good talks. There is many great people with caring hearths and actions in the dance/art/culture field too. 💗
.
The 10 year treat to myself is going to Berlin 🥳 (not founded) for some intensive days of dancing, moving and performing! 💙 though paying to dance , Im looking forward to train with others at a high international level again. I have chosen two courses in styles I am fairly good at. So for once not for developing much skills, or to reach new milestones. Just to train and enjoy. It feels weird, and nice.
.
This autumn, working on moving to Oslo . Anyone has a room or a job?  I have been planning this for years, but life does not go as planned for me, surprises hit + + but knock on wood to a new chapter. 

Heres also to the next year(s) and what it might hold. 🥂 Grateful at hearth, here we go. X
