Lisen Ellard is a choreographer and dancer with a background in vocal performance and radio. Ellard is often engaged with themes such as death and slowness, as well as practices that expand and alter sensory perception. She moves between different media and artistic forms, exploring various modes of collaboration and ways of coexisting with other artists. This includes the duo Ellard/Lech, formed with fellow artist Mattias Lech, which has resulted in a number of larger-scale stage works that have toured extensively in Sweden and internationally, as well as a range of performance and art installation works presented at theatres, museums, and art institutions across the country. Ellard´s work and collaborative projects have been presented at venues and institutions including Unga Klara, Dansens Hus, Uppsala City Theatre, and Riksteatern, and have also toured internationally.
