Hannah Karlsson works since over 10 years as a choreographer and dancer in
Gothenburg.
She is a versatile dancer who moves between everything from
deep seriousness to lighthearted playfulness. In her creative work and
exploration of movement, Hannah focuses on emotional and spatial
in-betweens, places of will or compulsion, as well as waiting and

needs in movement and non movement. Most recently shown in her short
excerpt ’Vitt och Fräscht’ this spring through Danskompaniet Spinn
and before that her solo piece ’No News’ from 2023.
