Katarina Skår Lisa has a background as dancer, performance artist, choreographer and educator. She has an education from the University of Stavanger (BA in dance art and pedagogy), Oslo Academy of The Arts (Master's degree in choreography) and at the Prosjektskolen art school in Oslo. Her aim with artistic enquiries is to create spaces to witness, accommodate and contemplate on close relationships between people, culture and inner- outer landscapes. She looks at movement and choreography as oneintegral part of culminating knowledge. Katarina has in recent years worked to learn more about the Sea Sami culture in Varanger where her father and his Sami ancestors came from. This has given a personal yet as well artistic anchor of understanding the importance of re- learning with the cultural landscape her father belongs. Katarina collaborates closely with other artists hence at the moment she can name the sami fashion designer and textile artist Ramona Salo, the japanese dance creator Yohei Hamada, choreographer and dance artist Astrid Groseth at Strand Artist- in residency. Previously, she had an ongoing collaboration with the Korean choreographer and multi-artist Kyuja Bae in the artist constellation Eye of Tree. Katarina recognizes that her work is never created alone and collaboration is absolutely necessary as a practice and philosophy; Collaborations with both other artists, landscapes and the more-than-human world, and local people in areas where art is created. Perhaps this is the unique nature of dance, but it is still nice to reflect about this.
