Studio Stories: Reminiscing on Twin Cities Dance with Eva Mohn - Season 8, Episode 101

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 2008 to work with German
choreographer Johannes Wieland. In 2009 she moved to
Kassel,
Germany to continue that working relationship with Wieland.
In
2012 she moved to Stockholm, Sweden and began working with
Cullberg. During her time there she worked with Tillman
O’Donnel,
Jefta Van Dinther, Alma Söderberg, Edward Lock, Benoit
Lachambre,
Eszter Solomon, and Deborah Hay. She currently continues to
work
with Cullberg and is based both in Stockholm and 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 will begin a project with Tilman O’Donnel in
Stockholm
with a premier in March 2023. She is also 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 Minnesota. In January 2021 she became a mother.
Her
current artistic practice is one of interplay and
conflation
between dancing, mothering, laboring, caregiving,
inter-species
relationships, and the physical inquiries of dancing,
recreating
and playing.
