Nordic Baroque Dancers is made up of professional dancers who are convinced that the 17th and 18th-century dance arts still have something to say to us today. They aspire to give new relevance and life to the different dance forms of the Baroque, while re-establishing the link between them and music, singing and theatre. Additionally, they hope to allow room for new creations, inspired by and based on the Baroque aesthetic. The company is run by Karin Modigh.
Karin Modigh is a dancer, choreographer, stage director, creator and teacher, who discovered early dance at the age of 15. A native of Sweden living in Paris, France, with a multidisciplinary education in dance, theatre and music, she has worked with some of the leading choreographers in her field, and has performed in Europe, the US and South Korea. She is also the director and founder of Nordic Baroque Dancers. Karin sees baroque dance as her movement mother tongue.
