I am a PhD research fellow at the University of Stavanger, the Faculty of Performing Arts in Norway. I have a background in dance; as a dance artist and collaborative choreographer in various projects. I have also worked as a dance teacher and dance consultant. The different experiences have given me a broad perspective and insight into dance as an art form in various contexts. Since 2009 I have been involved in several community-based dance projects which led me towards completing a Master degree in education and research at Université Rennes 2 in France in 2019. In my PhD project I am interested in choreographic-pedagogic intertwinements and am inquiring into the collaborative process between myself as a choreographer-researcher-teacher and four elementary school teachers through a dance project in a public elementary school in Norway.
