Through my work I explore capitalist logics of space / time / body, displacing what might appear concrete.


I approach choreography and dance as sociopolitical embodiment practices.


I materialize works with peculiar movement languages, humor, emotional entanglement and excruciating detail through distinct formats; back-room performance, black box performances, choreographic treatments, performance for 3 audiences in a car, book as a dance performance, a performance lecture.

I frame my work through specific contexts e.g.; roads / driving / truck drivers in DRIVER vol I and DRIVER vol II, migration / digestion / agricultural workers in Wait, wait, (tomato), hand, air conditionig / air / bureaucracy in AIRCON, using somatopoetic strategies to document and develop language, fiction, dances, worlds. These works have been presented at venues such as Dansehallerne (DK), Sydhavn Teater (DK), Ravnedans Festival (NO), SMEEL (SLO) and implemented through different EU projects.

Alongside my artistic work I am a dance facilitator for adults with developmental disabilities.

I am co-founder of KOMMA Performance Productions, a member driven cooperative, which supports the development, production and circulation of independent dance works and challenges normative production systems. I am in the board of US (Uafhængige Scenekunstnere) - lobbying for better conditions in the field of independent performing arts.
