Eleanor Campbell (b. 1985) is originally from Australia. She was drawn to ballet and sports in her youth and began her early dance career working for Australian companies The Queensland Ballet and Dance North. Eleanor traveled to Europe at age 21, landing first in Scotland before studying contemporary dance. After one year at SEAD, Salzburg, she entered the 4-year program at PARTS, Belgium. After graduating, she worked with theatre directors Mokhallad Rasem and Thomas Ryckewaert and choreographers Peter Savel, Georgia Vardarou, and Albert Quesada. In 2015, Eleanor joined Cullberg and performed in the work of Deborah Hay, Jefta Van Dinter, Eleanor Bauer, Ian Kahler, Alma Söderberg, Margrét Sara Guðjónsdóttir and Halla Ólafsdóttir. Throughout her time in Cullberg, Eleanor's focus has been on improvisation in performance, group processes, and how somatic practices merge with and support choreographic forms.
