Joana Ellen Öhlschläger

Joana Ellen Öhlschläger (she/her) is a German choreographer, dancer and producer based in Copenhagen. Her work is rooted in the movement of human and other bodies as essential reference point and invitation. Through transdisciplinary collaborations she constructs sensorial universes that employ humor, surprise and abstracted cliché to invite an audience into places of imaginative recognition and emotional permission. Her most recent works are ALL GOOD IN (2024), piece off (2023) and ETERNAL SUPPORT ACT (2023).
Joana holds an MfA in Choreography and a BfA in Dance & Choreography from The Danish National School of Performing Arts.
She is co-founder of KOMMA Performance Productions, an association supporting freelance performing artists to realize their work.
