Dancer | Choreographer
EMAIL: lisa.c.bysheim@gmail.com
Lisa Colette Bysheim's (1991) artistic practice unfolds in several constellations, both as a choreographer and performer. She has a research-based practice working with voice, text and choreography. She is driven by feminist methods that examine power dynamics, particularly the nuances of soft power as a persuasive and seductive force. Lisa holds a master's degree in choreography from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2021.
Among her latest choreographic works are If This | Then (2024), Blue Carousel (2024) and In-Betweenness (2021).
Currently Lisa is collaborating with dancer Katrine Patry (CA/NO), artist Sophia Gatzkan (AT), and dance artist Max Wallmeier (DK/DE). She's performed in works by Fieldworks - Heine Avdal & Yukiko Shinozaki, Janne-Camilla Lyster, Malin Bülow, and Lene Therese Teigen.
​​
Lisa´s choreographic work has been presented at venues including The Norwegian National Ballet, BIT Teatergarasjen, Dansens Hus Oslo, CODA Int. Dance Festival, Galleri F15 & Momentum (Moss), Officine Forte Marghera (Venezia), Dance Festival Malta (Malta). Recent international residencies include; Onassis AIR in Athens, SE.S.TA, Czech Republic, Tanz Fabrik Berlin and Bears in the Park in Vienna.
​
Lisa received a three year working grant from the Norwegian Arts Council, 2024 - 2026. Her work Blue Carousel in collaboration with Katrine Patry is selected for Aerowaves Twenty25!
