Efva Lilja

Sweden, b. 1956.

Choreographer. Professor of Choreography and Vice-Chancellor at the University College of Dance Stockholm.

In my work I concentrate on open-ended creative processes involving new forms of collaboration between artists and scientists with the focus on dance. The aim of the work is to develop new ways of working for artistic activities as well as new forms of performance and to improve the conditions for the encounter with our audience. My aim is also to shed light on the creative possibilities available within dance as an art form and how it can serve contemporary society.

The work crosses the boundaries between genres. I collaborate with other fields of artistic endeavour on projects to develop new forms of performance and new networks of arrangers. These projects also generate general models for others to experiment with. I do works of art for presentation both by new networks of organizers and in new performance contexts as well as on the traditional stage – nationally and internationally.
