Ingrid Berger Myhre is a Norwegian choreographer and performer based in Brussels, whose work engages with how dance is read and understood through language and choreography.
Ingrid holds an MA in Choreography (Research and Performance) from ex.e.r.ce at the Choreographic Centre in Montpellier (FR), and further developed her research on literacy in dance at the Research Studios at P.A.R.T.S. (BE).
She began her training in modern dance at the Amsterdam School of the Arts (NL), and worked as a freelance dancer in the Netherlands and internationally before turning to choreography. Since then, she has developed her work as an associate artist at Dansateliers Rotterdam and with the support of the Dutch Performing Arts Fund’s Nieuwe Makers Regeling (2019–2020). She has created commissioned works for Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Amsterdam University of the Arts, Norrdans, and Conny Janssen Danst’s Danslokaal.
Language and semiotics are central to her practice. Her work is characterized by a precise and playful approach, often using humor to question and reframe how choreography is perceived.
Her solo BLANKS (2017) and the duet PANFLUTES AND PAPERWORK (2019), created with Lasse Passage, were both selected for Aerowaves and toured internationally. Her research at P.A.R.T.S. led to IN OTHER WORDS (2021), followed by SPELLING SPECTACLE (2023), which has been presented at venues such as STUK, Kaaitheater, and SPRING Festival Utrecht.
Her ongoing collaboration with composer and sound artist Lasse Passage also led to NO DREAMS, NO GOLD (2025), a genre-fluid performance that moves between concert, lecture, and fiction, and is currently touring.
She is currently developing the new work TERMS & CONDITIONS, which explores how meaning shifts between language and the body, and how words are negotiated, embodied, and interpreted through choreography. The work will premiere in March 2027.
Her work was supported by Advancing Performing Arts Project (apap) – Feminist Futures (2020–2024). She is produced by Caravan Production (Brussels) and receives structural funding from Arts Council Norway as of 2026.
“Underlying Myhre’s practice is a good mix between the comic and the philosophical; fits of laughter and critical thinking about the politics of seeing—something contemporary performance needs to keep the field edgy, thought-provoking, yet highly capable of engaging the audience"
