Calvin Tjosaas
(he/they) I'm Cal, a queer, multidisciplinary movement artist and dance educator based in California. My creative process is rooted in collaboration, experimentation, and community-building, and draws on my own personal movement style as well as the creative impulses of my dancers/co-collaborators. I favor non-narrative structures, letting ideas evolve naturally through the development of a new work. Dances vary in theme but lean into the playful and avant-garde.

I am actively seeking collaborators from all disciplines--especially lighting designers, videographers, and composers/producers. Don't hesitate to reach out!
