Sara Grotenfelt is a choreographer, performance-maker and performer based in Helsinki, Finland. In her artistic practise Sara investigates the movement and placement of emotion and affect in the choreographic event. She works from a place of entanglement between intuition and analysis. Her works flirt with the established meanings of objects and gestures and play with the relationship between sincerity and irony. Lately Sara's work has focused on tweaking the social and aesthetic conventions of the performance situation. She holds a master's degree in choreography from the Theatre Academy of Helsinki (Teak) and a bachelor's degree equivalent from The Danish National School of Performing Arts, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Sara's work has been shown at e.g. Zodiak Stage (Helsinki), Hangö teaterträff, Helsinki City Theatre, Taidehalli (Helsinki) and Stockholm Fringe Festival. Sara has performed in works by WAUHAUS (FI), Anna-Sofia Nylund (FI), Eleanor Bauer (US), Frédéric Gies (FR) and Blaue Frau (FI) amongst others.
Sara also works as a co-director at the dance school Tanssivintti which offers intensive programmes for young dancers aspiring to engage in dance as an art form.
