Lena Stefenson will talk about how to work with directing for movement-based performing arts. Based on her recently published book “First the Movement – About Directing Movement-Based Performing Arts”, Lena reflects on various methods in the work of creating a physically based theatre. She gives examples from her own and others work.

Lena has created around 35 performances as choreographing director. She has worked for both independent theatre groups and institutions. She is a trained mime-actor, was involved in starting Teater Tre and has been working the last 10 years at Stockholm University of the Arts as an associate professor of mime-acting and responsible for the education in mime-acting.
