Oda Brekke is a dance artist based in Stockholm, working internationally as a choreographer, writer and performer. Her work is characterised by a material approach to perception, favoring detail to total overview. She is curious of dwelling with rooms and the things inhabiting them– tricking the sense of linear time and utilitarian relationships to objects. Her work ‘When there’s only surface left’ premiered at Weld in Stockholm 2021 and has been presented at the festival IMPROSPEKCIJE at Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art, Bergen Kjøtt, Dance Cooperative in Copenhagen and höjden studios in Stockholm.
She is interested in discursive formats that gathers us to think collectively and has organized the conversation series ‘in the seams’ with Ar Utke Acs (for Interim kultur 2020), the artistic laboratory ‘Performance records’ (Weld 2023) and ‘drift dialogues’ with Scott Cazan (höjden studios 2024). She was part of the editorial team behind the publication ‘Art as Object|Art as Practice’ with Anders Paulin, Emilia Gasiorek and Runa Borch Skolseg published by the venue Skogen (Gothenburg 2020).
Oda is a co-founder of the collective studio space höjden in Stockholm, a collegial platform and common resource for autonomous production and artistic exchange since 2019. She received a BA in Dance Performance at DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts (2017).
