Harald Beharie

Harald Beharie (b.1992) is a Norwegian-Jamaican performer and choreographer based in Oslo. While applying various formats and contexts his practice looks into alternative modes of being, dancing and existing together while questioning notions of normativity. Harald holds an interest for the unpolished, the DIY and vulnerability of being in the unknowing. His choreographic practice unfolds in various constellations with other dance and visual artists, and some of the leading interests in his work at the moment are dissecting known physical narratives and opening for a conscious naivety and playfulness while indulging into the pathetic, collapsing but still joyful body. Harald's practice and focus is being with local people, local ideas, spending time with people and developing ideas with and within the community.
