-Eva Mohn
Eva Mohn works as a dancer and composer, straddling the USA and Europe. Eva originally comes from Minneapolis, MN. She was a member of a Minneapolis based dance company TU Dance from 2002-2009. She moved to New York in 2009 to work with German choreographer Johannes Wieland. She then moved to Kassel, Germany to continue that working relationship with Wieland. In 2012 she moved to Stockholm, Sweden and began working with Cullberg Ballet. She has a continuing relationship with Sweden and Cullberg however is now based in Minneapolis. In 2021 she received her Masters in Choreography and New Performative Practices from Stockholm University for the Arts. In the fall of 2022 she worked as an assistant to a project with Tilman O’Donnel in Stockholm with a premier in March 2023. She is currently working on a dance research performance project with Morgan Thorson for a premier at the Great Northern Festival in winter 2024.
Eva is a student and practitioner of Cranial Sacral Therapy, and has completed a study and certification in Yoga with Richard Freeman in Boulder, Colorado. She has spent chapters of her working life as a baker, house painter, and during the 2020 pandemic she worked as a farm manager for a small scale organic sheep farm in Bloomington, Minnesota. In January 2021 she became a mother. Her current artistic practice is one of interplay and conflation between dancing, mothering, caregiving, inter-species relationships, and the physical inquiries of dancing, recreating and playing.
