Oda Brekke (b. Bergen 1994) is a dance artist living 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 works include dead dead document (2024), Cut: a choreo-essay (2023) and When there’s only surface left (2021) and has been presented at MDT, Weld and fylkingen in Stockholm and internationally at festivals like Improspeckije Zagreb museum of contemporary art and Oktoberdans in Bergen. Her writing has been published in Maska, Bastard, Dog Days Discourse, This Container and in the books It Absorbs; On dance as a Porous art object and Art as Practice|Art as Object by the venue Skogen in Gothenburg.
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. She is interested in facilitating discursive frames within the dance field and is behind the conversation series ‘in the seams’ with Ar Utke Acs, the artistic laboratory ‘Performance records’ and ‘drift dialogues’ with Scott Cazan.
As a performer Oda has worked with choreographers such as Karen Eide Bøen, Leah Landau, Gry Tingskog, Ellen Söderhult and Mira Mutka among others. She received her BA in Dance Performance at DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts (2017)
