Hampus Bergenheim

Hampus Bergenheim is a freelance dancer who holds a BA in Dance Performance from DOCH, Stockholm University of the Arts. Deriving from an overarching interest in the function dance has and potentially could have in and beyond western societies, his artistry turns toward poetry as an artistic stimulant to encourage a multitude of meaning enveloped in an inclusive whilst suggestive expression, consequently manoeuvring assumptions of production and recognizing anything as being of a process. These inquiries have come to conduct and intertwine his organisational, pedagogical and artistic engagements in dance such as; Past Arrival (2018-), BUNDLE (2017-), One Several: To Arrive in Transformation or I Want to Dance with Glitter and Cher in a Multidimensional Space (2017), amongst others. As a performer, he has had the privilege to participate in pieces like I’m sitting on my aura by Miguel Guitterez, That Choreographs Us by Benoit Lachambre (2017), Set and Reset by Trisha Brown (2016), Der BAU by Isabelle Schad (2016) and have been frequently engaged in the companies Gwyn Emberton Dance (UK) and ilDance (SE/IL/AU).
