Welcome Halla Ólafsdóttir!

Halla Ólafsdóttir, Artist in Residence at The International Dance Program in Stockholm, 1 March–29 May 2026.

Halla Ólafsdóttir is a choreographer and dancer who attended the Stockholm Ballet Academy and the Master’s Program in Choreography at SKH. She always works collectively and with a feminist perspective, often as part of a choreographic duo. Through collaborations, she wants to challenge the idea of ​​the lone (male) genius and instead create space for support, shared practice and a discourse that broadens the understanding of what dance and choreography can be. A large part of her practice is based on recognizable material from art and popular culture, where she examines what happens when it is put in a different context. Halla likes to use conventions and clichés, and then break them down, stretch them and blur them.
