Pontus Pettersson’s choreographic work ranges from fortune telling, cat practicing, writing poetry to dancing, a choreography off and on stage. Pontus plays and questions the notions of choreography and dance as two singular entities that are closely entangled. Pontus has a particular interest in objects that create a bridge to a choreography that is daring, useless and beautiful. As a dancer Pontus has worked for Deborah Hay, Mårten Spångberg, Ohad Naharin Cristina Caprioli, Mette Ingvartsen and others. Pontus is currently involved in a poetic curational project titled The Poeticians. Pontus works with the musical, text and performance project PETS with choreographer Ofelia Jarl Ortega. Pontus holds a Master’s in Choreography from the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm.
