is a dancer and choreographer, born in Örnsköldsvik and based in Stockholm. She regularly falls in love with new stuff and uses choreography as a means to learn more about these new objects of desire. Her artistic work is conceptual and practice based - insisting on a learning process based in practices, with no conflict with the close relationship to reading, writing and theorizing.
As a feminist socialist, she enjoys working with other feminists of all genders and expressions, animals when needed. Collaboration underpins her artistic thought and feeds into an intricate web of experimentation, rarely knowing who did what, when. She tries to remember to give cred to contemporaries and those who came before her.
Some of the recent love affairs have involved doom, details, dogs, electricity, gossip, speed, dance history, Nikola Tesla, birds, Meyerhold's biomechanics, mindreading, liquids and laughs. She regularly engages in storytelling, sharing her view of the world through new facts and fiction, and practice her attention to the details that shape a group experience. She enjoys dancing, moving and being moved - never shying away from a dancing spectacle. The experience of being a group dancing together is a joy she wish to share with an audience.
She is part of the feminist collective Samlingen and the collaboration Wiberg & Nyberg.
