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

A Practice in Focusing on the Good

After a rough evening where highs and lows collided, I found myself training once again to focus on the good. It wasn’t easy, it felt heavy, and again too much crap came too fast. Sometimes it takes you it is ok, but I was reminded that focusing on the good is just like any other practice; it’s a choice we make, not by ignoring challenges of the past, now and future but by deciding again and again what truly deserves our attention.

Dancing on these tables with an umbrella reminds me to find lightness and joy, even in unexpected places and when it is raining. 

This short snippet is from Dance Day in Trondheim at Havet (would love to get more video from that daaay)–is  one of the few times so far in my 20 years in dance where I got to move and celebrate on the day, and a reminder of the power in choosing joy.

Afterwards, a kind, genuine comment of my dancing from someone at DansiT stayed with me as well. Words like that matter, and I Thank you all that leaves some nice comments, see my histories or gives likes here on my page too🧡 and it matters to choice to focus on the good. I fail a lot in it, in this messed up world, but we continue trying and fighting for it because there is a lot of good stuff too out there. 🧡

Disclaimers: I did get help to see this again, *we are helping eachother 😊
