SVEINBJÖRG ÞÓRHALLSDÓTTIR

Sveinbjörg holds a master's degree in choreography from Fontys University in Holland. She has worked as a professional choreographer in all major theaters in Reykjavík. After working as a professor at the Iceland University of the Arts she is back in the freelance scene to focus on her own work again. Her recent work "ROF" resulted from her IUA research and was premiered on Reykjavik Dance Festival in Nov. 2021 and to be re-run in Sept. 2022.

Available for touring

ROF is aesthetically a strong solo dance work where the dancer interprets through the senses the story of her body. Through a carefully crafted method devised by the choreographer, the dancer reaches deep within to connect from her core to the audience. Music plays a big role as the dancer wears two smart rings on her fingers to produce sound with her movements affecting the texture of the sound.

Looking for

I am looking for opportunities to travel with my new work ROF (RIFT) to be performed in theaters abroad or outside of Iceland. I am also looking for co- productions and residencies for my next work which will be the second result of my recent research method "All movement has a mind in relation to time and space".
