Artist statement

I invite. One by one at times. We look at each other. It is both the worst and the most beautiful.

I work as a choreographer, director, and performer with an interdisciplinary approach where body, space, and audience presence are central. My works often meet you, the audience, in unconventional settings like private homes, a dressing room, or a public square. Together with you as a spectator, I want to explore how the body is trained, gendered, and perceived. A private diary and a societal body at the same time.

My practice moves in the tension between social gatherings and artistic re-evaluation of who gets to be how and where. I create situations where we can recognize ourselves, laugh, hesitate – and perhaps see our own bodies and rules in a new light.

My heritage is the directness, warmth, and ability to carry the heavy lightly from the Värmland storytelling tradition. I am shaped by the middle-class hospitality – how we create security by following rules we never discuss. What happens when you don’t follow the frameworks that shape how our bodies can move, be seen, desire, and take up space?

My directing work is a way to compose relationships, texts, rhythms, and attention in the space. As a performer, I use my own body to test the limits of endurance, exposure, and responsibility. What is at stake when I choose to remain in an action without knowing where it leads? I see it as taking you by the hand and saying, “come along.”
