Heli Pippingsköld - Dance Artist
Hi, and welcome to my webpage. Here you can find my selected dance art works as a choreographer.
The portfolio focuses mainly the full evening contemporary dance works made during the years 2014-2020. The curriculum vitae below you can also find my works as a dancer.
My name is Heli Pippingsköld and I am 34 years old dancer and dance artist originally from Rovaniemi, Finland. In the past years I have been working very widely in Finland and middle Europe both in making my own artistic work and as a dancer in various choreographies. My first own full-length piece Becoming Monsters was part of JoJo Oulu Dance Centre's productions in 2016 and was also supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation and Art Promotion Centre Finland. My artistic work has been shown also in MoveMe Festival (AUS), Biciu Saskrydis Dance Festival (LT), Theater de Neuve Wort (NL) and in Ambasadden Theater and Musikhuset in Denmark.
In 2015 I also received a yearly artist grant from the Art Promotion Centre Finland. Besides my own artistic questions I have past seven years worked also as a dancer for choreographers like Andreas Constantinou, Himherandit Productions (UK), Palle Granhøj (DK), Petri Kauppinen (FIN), Jussi Väänänen ja Katja Koukkula (FIN), Anus Sistonen (FIN), Tanja Råman (FIN), Satu Tuomisto (FIN).
My passion for my own artistic work though has been just growing. I want to deeply continue more and more deepen my own artistic voice and vision, which consists visually very ambitious style of dance art and clips of a life irony.
