Biography
Ellinor Ljungkvist is educated at Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, Inter-University Centre for Dance Berlin and Master in Choreography at DOCH. Ellinor’s work is recognizable for its combination of contemporary dance and conceptual performance art. She work from an emotional and personal place, which real experiences lay ground for the content in each piece. Her pieces are dramatical and theatrical but still reality-based and concept-driven. They revolve around themes that are general but current and therefore relevant for many.
Angry Stories
Ellinor’s latest piece Angry Stories was about anger and dystopia. The dancers expressed their experiences regarding the themes. They began by telling personal stories about memories and thoughts that have shaded their minds. Their stories were written down as poetic storytellings and reformulated into performance concept. The stories became the core of the choreographed piece.
