ABOUT

Matilda Bilberg (she/her) is a dance artist based in Stockholm, working internationally.

Matilda believes in dance as a way to explore and play with the experience of existing. Her work has its primary focus on the craft and execution of dancing. Combining an analytical and technical-physiological approach with a playful, caring, and compassionate attitude and procedures towards body and movement. She has engaged in long-term research into what it means to come together, to be together - embracing difference, honoring embodied knowledge, and allowing each collaborator’s history to shape the present. Sustainability, in all its plural forms - relational, physical, environmental, and economic - is at the heart of her practice. She cares for her own body, each other’s, the collective body, and the world she moves within and keeps on wondering how dance and performance can contribute to a present reality and a hopeful future.

Recently, Matilda’s work has started to engage in a more peripheral and back-oriented focus. This perspective has opened space to explore backspaces*, histories, profound vulnerabilities - both personal and collective - and the nuances of relational and interpersonal dynamics.

Matilda did her dance studies at the Royal Swedish Ballet School (2010-2013), followed by a master's degree in choreography at Stockholm University of the Arts (2022-2024).
