Helena Franzén (choreographer/dancer) is a choreographer and dancer, based in Stockholm, Sweden. She has created over 60 pieces, and was awarded a 10 year grant from the Arts Council Committee in Sweden in 2002. Characteristic for her work is the spatial conditions and the effect it has on the choreography, the dialogue with the music (usually performed live). Her highly skilled dancers are closely involved in the creative process. For three years, Helena Franzén has collaborated with Finnish musician Jukka Rintamäki, who has a strong background in the Swedish rock scene. Tiny Voices is their 8th project. Last year she created commissioned works to several companies such as: DDT company (Copenhagen), The Opera in Gothenburg, The Royal Opera (Copenhagen), Norrdans, Skanes Dansteater and Mobita Dansco (Tampere, Finland). Helena met Eun Jung in 1998 when she was in the exchange program of Movement Research. She then presented her piece, Single Neuron Recording at Dance Space Project. Ten years later they meet again and Tiny Voices was created. |
