Rebecca Chentinell [1986] is educated at the Royal Swedish Ballet School and ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands. Her artistic practice unfolds in the tension between embodied and spiritual implications of dance as a medium, in a posthuman realm informed by critical ecology, where she works as a choreographer, dancer, curator, writer and editor in the intersection between dance and visual arts. Her choreographic work has been shown at i.e. l’Ecart Art Centre [CA], Kummelholmen, Weld, Färgfabriken, Marabouparken, Inter Arts Center and Moderna Museet [SE], and articles have been published in amongst others the art journals Astra [FI], Kultūros barai [LT], Norsk Shakespeartidskift [NO] and MASKA [SI].
Together with Rickard Borgström she eco-facilitates and co-curates exhibitions, programs, symposia, artistic research and works through DACE – Dance Art Critical Ecology, that has been presented at Musée d’art de Joliette [CA], Göteborgs Konsthall, MDT, Färgfabriken, Havremagasinet, Högsveden nature forest [SE], Rovaniemi Art Museum [FI and Venice Biennale [IT]. Together with Marie Fahlin, she is the editor and responsible publisher of Koreografisk Journal and has curated programs and festivals at the Royal Swedish Opera, Moderna Museet and Bonniers Konsthall [SE].
