Lena Stefenson

I have been working at SKH since 2010.

Before I came to the university, I was a mime-actor and choreographing director with more than 35 productions behind me.

I teach in the field of mime-acting, scenic figuration, dramaturgy and the creation of performances. My subjects provide students with guidance both in the actor's inner workings and the scenic collaboration with others. I focus on teaching both the creation of one's own ideas and how to work in various co-creative forms.

The Mime Acting training, where I teach most of my time, is important because it provides a foundation in physical acting and also trains actors to be able to move freely in all areas of the performing arts.

I have written a book called Rörelsen först – om regi för rörelsebaserad scenkonst. There I write about my work as a  choreographer / director.
