Hanna A. Lokøy (b. 2001, Stavanger) is a dancer and choreographer and lives in Copenhagen, where she recently graduated from the Danish School of Performing Arts.

About her residency at Velferden in the winter of 2025, Hanna writes: “The residency will encourage me to continue exploring my practice of crying, dramaturgy and the friction between them. I want to further develop my artistic interest in emotional movement, as well as explore new and relevant aspects of this through texts and choreography. I see this residency as an opportunity to research and let the practice unfold, while actively working with other relevant movement qualities such as shaking, stumbling, holding and collapsing. I want to investigate how this can be structured with dramaturgical tools and documented for future work.”
