My name is Ingvild Maria Thingnes. I grew up in Førde/Sunnfjord, until I moved to Bergen for high school (2012) and Stavanger for university (2015). I work as a dance artist, cultural manager and producer, now based in Stavanger. 

​

I have a broad field of interest for different ways of working with and for art, and I'm particularly interested in different forms of artistic co-creation and collaboration, as well as researching different methodologies connected to dance and movement.

​

Since 2020 I've been invested in building and developing the multidisciplinary artist workspace KRA in Stavanger, together with friends and collegues Eduardo Scaramuzza and Anna Klungre. I believe that our work environment and collegiate plays an important role in our artistic practices and creations.

​

As a performer I am grateful to be working regularly with Hagit Yakira Dance and Kunstgrillen interdisciplinary performance ensemble, as well as having the chance to create my own work and collaborate with other artists.

​

I have my education in dance from the University in Stavanger (2018), with an exchange semester at Escola Superior de Danca in Lisboa (2017). I attended Vertigo International Dance Program in Jerusalem in 2019, and did an internship with Hagit Yakira Dance the same year. I have also participated in several cultural/social entrepreneuring programs such as Ovasjon, Storhaug Unlimited and Vippepunkt.
