Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt was founded in Oslo in 1992 by Ingun Bjørnsgaard, a choreographer whose work continues to influence the Nordic dance scene. Through her own company, she has been able to rigorously follow her artistic vision together with a preeminent ensemble of dancers who engage in the creation of the performances. A profound artistic research into the relationship between movement and music from the classical and baroque eras, as well as new music composed for the performances, is characteristic of Bjørnsgaard's work.
Since her company's immediate international breakthrough, Bjørnsgaard has examined gender as a recurring theme in her work, often read through feminist theory and archaic symbolism. In the early productions, she explored mythical female muses in award-winning performances such as Virgins in Norwegian Landscapes (1992) and Sleeping Beauty (1994). Her exceptional take on the fleeting fragility of modern identity and its social foundations, later ventured into the complex relationship between the feminine and masculinity, in both sexes.
Writing movement in time and space, Bjørnsgaard's blending of formal precision and everyday pathos has been rewarded with a number of prestigious prizes. She is commissioned to work with prominent companies such as the Norwegian National Ballet, Carte Blanche, CCN - Ballet de Lorraine, Tanztheater Bremen, Komische Oper, Berlin, and GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
