Nora is a contemporary dancer and physical theatre performer from Trondheim, Norway. Her work is rooted in her curiosity towards communication, contact and relations between people, and what role the body and it`s movements play in that. In her practice, Nora draws inspiration form a variety of movement, from automatic everyday gestures, and body language almost unconsciously communicating our emotions, and reactions, to movements designed to reach a goal. Techniques developed in dance, sports, theatre, and all areas of life, are taught as the most efficient way to complete an actions. Through her work Nora wants to explore and challenge those techniques, and the difference between techniques developed to reach aesthetic goals and practical goals.
