Katarina Skår Lisa

Katarina Skår Lisa's background is as a dancer, performance artist, choreographer and educator. She has education from the University of Stavanger (BA in Dance Art and Pedagogy), Oslo National Academy of the Arts (Master's degree in Choreography) and at the Prosjektskolen art school. Her aim with artistic inquiry is to create spaces to witness, accommodate and contemplate close relationships between people, culture and inner-outer landscape. She sees movement and choreography as an integrated part of this. How choreographic practices can interact with the surroundings in a close and sensitive way is an important essence of her work. Katarina recognizes that her works are never created alone and collaboration is absolutely necessary for the integrity of the works. Collaboration with other artists, landscapes and local people in the areas where the art is created is a core value in her artistic practice.
