Malin Elgán is a choreographer and artist, based in Stockholm and active internationally. Elgán takes an interest in art beyond the genre-specific and operates through an expanded choreographic practice – through various expressions, formats and media. She does not let dance be limited to certain movements and places. Rather she takes dance out of its usual contexts to enable new meanings.

At MDT, her most recent works include "Läst till hälften" [“Half Read”] (2022) and ["The Child Shape"] (2021).

Her ongoing series “Delar” has been shown at Ställbergs gruva in Bergslagen, Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus and Hallen in Farsta. 

Previously, her work has been presented on stages such as Dansens Hus and Kulturhuset in Stockholm, Moderna Museet, Nationalmuseum and Bonniers Konsthall, as well as at Göteborgs Konsthall, Nasjonalmuseet and Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Poppositions in Brussels, Ausland in Berlin and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb.

Elgán has also been a guest editor for a special edition of the art magazine Paletten, which was temporarily renamed Baletten, and her choreographic practice has been awarded the Birgit Cullberg grant.
