ABOUT

Nordberg Movement is a Stockholm-based agency for the performing arts, specializing in dance. We offer a range of services including representation, development, production, coaching, consulting, and strategic planning.

We support the ongoing development of both new and established voices in dance and choreography. We connect new and finished works and projects with collaborators, presenters, and festivals, providing guidance, support, and infrastructure for companies, independent artists, constellations, and festivals. Our activities encompass daily work for a curated roster of artists, alongside various industry-oriented initiatives.

Current collaborations are presented under Artists.

Our specializations include:

  • Longstanding relationships with independent artists and companies
  • Time-limited projects
  • National and international representation and distribution
  • Project management for new work and touring management
  • Showcases and presentations of work at festivals and industry gatherings
  • Coaching for non-affiliated artists
  • Teaching and classes in various forms, for festivals, institutions, and artist-led organizations
  • An ongoing presence in national and international forums, advocating for dance and choreography
  • Participation in various international networks, including board membership
  • Ongoing analysis and guidance regarding funding systems, aligning strategies with the overall scene and its needs

History

Nordberg Movement was founded in 2011 with a drive to accommodate the needs of production, representation, and daily operations for a smaller group of artists. During the course of the company, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a vast group of producers, artists, companies, and venues.

On the artist side, our earlier collaborations have included Andersson Dance/choreographer Örjan Andersson (2011-2022), Elle Sofe Sara (2022-2024), Shake it Collaborations (2017-2022), Convoi Exceptionnel (2021-2023), Weld and Weld Company (2011-2020), Quarto (2017-2022) and Hagar Malin Hellkvist Sellén (2011-2017).
