As a dancer and choreographer, I work internationally with a local base. I grew up in Sweden with an English and Swedish background and moved to the United States at 16 to study and work in the performing arts area. Since 1990 I have travelled and made commissioned works and toured in many of the European countries and in Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua and the United States. This past year, I have performed in Japan, Portugal, Germany and France as well as in Sweden. I have choreographed opera and theatre pieces as well as making dance pieces for a young audience, acclaimed for their direct communication, humor and warmth. My performances have been described as darkly humoristic, mixing sharp poetics and dynamics.xx THE WORK My work is influenced by cultural opposites and composites. I studied dance and performance in the creative and experimental atmosphere of the California West Coast, co-founding a performance group with other dancers and musicians. Since 1990 I work with my own company in Sweden with works that have been performed at Dansens Hus in Stockholm, The German State Ballet, Eurodanse Festival in France, the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Sweden, AVE Festival in Holland, The Edge Festival in the United States, Copenhagen Cultural Capital 96, Stockholm Cultural Capital 98, Cynet Art Festival Dresden Germany, Festival "kontext Europa" in Vienna Austria, Les Boréales in Caen, France, Full Moon Dance Festival, Finland and Umeå Jazz Festival amongst others.
