Elle Sofe Company expands on the groundbreaking work of Indigenous choreographer, director and film-maker Elle Sofe Sara. A full-time artist since 2007, Sara founded the company in 2022 to make the work—her own and her collaborating partners’—accessible to the wider world. We strive to be innovative, kindhearted and unifying. The company draws strongly from Sámi culture, which is Indigenous to the Northern parts of nations now known as Sweden, Norway, and Finland; and from Russia’s Murmansk Oblast.
Olga Regitze Dyrløv Høegh is a Danish scenographer & costume designer working in all scales and within different spatial formats – such as galleries, stages & public spaces. She holds a master in scenography from The Norwegian Theatre Academy and a bachelor in design culture from The Southern University of Denmark and has created stages and spatial experiences for opera, theatre, dance and audio across the world. Her scenographic practise explores the agency of things with a curiosity of the signs and meaning systems humans have assigned inanimate things.
