Dancer | Choreographer
Lisa Colette Bysheim (1991) is a dancer and choreographer from Bergen, Norway. She works interchangeably with the materiality of language, choreography, movement, text, sound, scores, and meaning. She has a MA in Choreography from National Academy of the Arts in Oslo 2021.
In her work, she plays with humour to question, challenge, and reconstruct perceptions of power; with a particular interest in soft power. A consistent interest in her artistic practice is to investigate how language and movement combined can allow multilinear narratives to unfold without submitting them to an internal hierarchy. Bysheim wants to give attention to the way language enables us to articulate how differences underscore our lives by challenging ideas of centre, hierarchy and control.
Currently Lisa is collaborating with dancer Katrine Patry (CA/NO), artist Sophia Gatzkan (AT), and choreographer/dancer Max Wallmeier (DK/DE). She will be performing in new works by Fieldworks - Heine Avdal & Yukiko Shinozaki, and Janne-Camilla Lyster in 2024.
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), among others.
Recent international residencies include; Onassis AIR in Athens, SE.S.TA, Czech Republic, Tanz Fabrik Berlin and Bears in the Park in Vienna.
