Welcome Hana Erdman

Hana Erdman

Hana Lee Erdman is a dancer and choreographer working at the intersection of choreography and installation. She creates a wide range of work for the stage and museum, as well as in outdoor and architectural environments such as forests, parks, and churches.

Her work explores how relation is formed between bodies, environments, and other forms of life, moving between intimate encounters and larger social and ecological contexts.

Born in Northern California, she moved to Europe in 2007 to work as a dancer. She completed her MA in Dance at the University of the Arts Berlin (HZT) and is currently based between Stockholm and Berlin.

Since 2018, she has worked closely with Louise Dahl. Together they have created Companion XL (2025), Trio Variations (2025), Companion (2022), Forests, Fields and Pastures (2021), The Weather in the Room (2021), and Slowdance (2019).

As a dancer, she has worked with Cristina Caprioli, Keith Hennessy, Mårten Spångberg, Jeanine Durning, Isabelle Schad, Sara Shelton Mann, Tilman O’Donnell, Ulrika Berg, Jess Curtis, Anna Persson, and others.

She is a guest teacher at Stockholm University of the Arts and Balett Akademien, and teaches in professional training programs, festivals, and public-facing art contexts across Europe and North America.

During the residency, she is developing The Field and Imprints & Orientations, two interconnected works that continue an investigation into how bodies and landscapes shape one another over time. Movement, in this context, is something formed through tracing and orientation—shaped by scale and memory, through the layering of perception over time.
