Jesper Nilsson

I'm a dancer and entrepreneur from Sweden. During a 1-year education in Copenhagen I worked with a dance collective called E.K.K.O (consisting of choreographers: Emma Nordanfors, Klara Elenius, Karina Dichov Lund), I have also worked with Paul James Rooney. I later also worked with Marie Brolin-Tani and Melody Putu in a collaboration project with the Danish National Opera. I did my 3-year bachelor degree at Khio (Oslo National Academy of the Arts) where I got the opportunity to work with choreographers like Ingun Bjornsgaard, Christopher Arouni, Alan Lucien Oeyen, Anne Grete Eriksen and Lise Tiller Sikkeland. As I am a b-boy from the start, the acrobatic and moving nature of dance, and movement in general have always seemed logical to me due to the understanding of acrobatic physics. I'm a curious researcher of movement, different ways of using it and how it tells a story by itself.
