Henriette Pedersen works in the field between dance and theatre, with visual, musical and theatrical performances. She’s known for concepts with physical movements with an epic and character building intention. Henriette started out as a site-specific and performance oriented artist after her education as a choreographer in 2000. Since then she has made both performance pieces, fake vernissages and more dance and theatre related performances. Among her earlier works are Classic Heaven and Blindt Begjær (Blind Desire). Before starting the Animal Magnetism trilogy about hysteria, she choreographed/directed performances such as Hamburger Allee, Small stick big bird and The Problem Has No Name. In the Animal Magnetism trilogy she combines these two different ways of working by making full-length performances, which afterwards are made into site-specific and performance related happenings.
