  • Carl Aquilizan (they/them) is a Norwegian/Filipino dance artist based in Oslo, whose artistic work explores decolonial and transformative practices, from a queer and multicultural perspective. Through questioning and disrupting societal norms and ideals, they want to create discourses that can inform, challenge and expand our ways of thinking. Transformation, multiplicity and complexity are used as frameworks to resist simplification and to reimagine new ways of being and thinking.

    Their recent and upcoming projects are specifically looking into their Filipino heritage and ancestry, questioning what it means to carry ancestors’ knowledge and histories in their body. These projects also look into traces of pre-colonial world views in Filipino language, culture and trends. Carl has also been writing dance and theatre reviews for scenekunst.no.
