Mona Namér
Mona Namér is a Moroccan-Swedish Dancer, Choreographer and Creative Director from Gothenburg, based in Stockholm. Since the age of eight, Mona has built a strong foundation in Hip Hop and House dance, while gleaning inspiration, education and a physical vocabulary from around the world. She spent a year and a half honing her practice at Broadway Dance Center in New York, followed by years of traveling between Paris, Johannesburg, London and New York.
Mona merges her experience and breadth of knowledge and uses them to create a repertoire of new expressive narratives in movement and visual art. She is active in different fields such as dance and film productions, theatre, directing, teaching, commercial work, photography and various artistic projects. Her work explores identity, human behaviour, surrealism and rituals. Mona’s innate curiousity and desire to experiment with different forms of creative expression have led to collaboration and work with lauded artists, companies and celebrated festivals such as Little Dragon, IKEA, VOLVO, Afropunk Festival, La Villette Paris, Kampnagel Hamburg and Gothenburg Opera.
Recently Mona directed the short film ‘A Bath In My Mother’s Womb’ with musical score by Little Dragon - that premiered at Gothenburg Film Festival 2022, won Best Experimental Short at New Generation Indie Film Awards in Los Angeles and earned a Vimeo Staff Pick. Her new film ‘Hawa’ was just screened at TATE Modern In London.
