Oda Brekke, born in Bergen (1994) is a dance artist living in Stockholm. In her practice she takes on roles as choreographer, performer, dramaturge and writer. 

Her choreographic work is characterised by a material approach to perception, favouring detail to total overview: inviting audience and performers to space out. She is curious of dwelling with rooms and the things inhabiting them– tricking the sense of linear time, utilitarian relationships to objects and the narrative of stable subjects in control of their environment.

Her choreographic work has been presented at MDT, Weld and fylkingen in Stockholm and internationally at festivals like Improspeckije Zagreb museum of contemporary art and Oktoberdans in Bergen. Her writing has been published in Maska, Bastard, Dog Days Discourse, This Container and in the books It Absorbs; On dance as a Porous art object and Art as Practice|Art as Object by the venue Skogen in Gothenburg.

In 2019 Oda was part of co-founding the collective studio space höjden in Stockholm, a collegial platform and common resource for autonomous production and artistic exchange. She is intrested in facilitating discursive frames within the field and has contributed to a variety of formats for conversation, artistic laboratories and exchange aswell as reading groups  with peers. 

As a performer Oda has worked with choreographers such as Karen Eide Bøen, Leah Landau, Gry Tingskog, Ellen Söderhult and Mira Mutka among others.

She received her BA in Dance Performance at DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts (2017) and has further completed courses such as Methods in Artistic Writing (2018), How Dance Thinks (2019) Dance and Philosophy (2020), The circulating book project (2020) Microhistories (2023) and Psychoanalysis and Aesthetics (2024).
