Rebecka Stillman works in different formats but always within the realm of the choreographic. She is based in Stockholm but probably spends more work time elsewhere. She has initiated performance projects in collaborations and collectives and done commissioned work, as in her long term collaboration with Swedish initiative the Weld Company. She has also administered local initiatives, written for publications and worked as a dancer (e.g. with Eleanor Bauer, Mårten Spångberg, Stina Nyberg and Dalija Acin Thelander). She has an MA in choreography from DOCH in Stockholm, and has previously attended SEAD in Austria and The Royal Swedish Ballet School. The projects she initiates have in common a quest for the middle ground and the unfamiliar in the familiar, often through a protocolized procedure aimed at getting there. Lately she has taken a special interest in experiences of time such as déjà vu and anticipation, and has an affinity towards knitting and mermaids. A constant struggle of hers is how to build what one wants to be part of, for example a fluid and supportive, open and specific, brave and care-taking art scene.
