About Stina Nyberg

Stina Nyberg is a dancer and choreographer living in Stockholm. Her work is based on the political and social history of the body from a feminist perspective. She is interested in undervalued knowledge, magical practices and the language of power. Stina's artistic processes often start from a specific person or phenomenon as a node. This leads to a long period of research into the political aberrations surrounding the theme and she creates chains of artistic works in different formats based on the same artistic process. These can be live performances, city walks, lectures, concerts, texts or other formats. She is part of the feminist collective Samlingen (Amanda Apetrea, Nadja Hjorton, Halla Ólafsdóttir and Zoë Poluch) who choreograph site-specific interventions with a critical view of dance history. Since 2013, she has been collaborating with Sofia Wiberg, researcher in Urban Studies, in a series of artistic investigations of collective knowledge processes. Since 2024 she is a part of Rose Choreographic School.

In recent years, she has immersed herself in a perspective on the current ecological catastrophe through a series of speculations on the possibility of an earth free of the human species. In 2022, she choreographed the work The Dawn Chorus for Norrdans, the following year she premiered the solo Sweet at MDT and in 2024 the premiere of Chest takes place at Dansens Hus Elverket.
