Lisen Pousette is a choreographer and dancer based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her work engages with body, voice and sound practices. Driven by a fascination with their materiality and relational dimensions, she works across a spectrum of expressions ranging from the most subtle sonic gestures to more extreme vocal forms.

She forms a duo with choreographer Olivia Rivière (Copenhagen, Denmark), where they together have been exploring the embodiment of extended vocal practices since the beginning of their collaboration in 2017. Their work has a somatic approach as its entry point and looks to skew and expand the gendered voice through its affective potentials and reach. Drawn to visceral techniques such as growling and screaming variations, they move through different intensities, creating open-ended situations that seek out resonance.

Their works have been presented at venues, festivals and galleries such as ImPulsTanz (Austria), MDT (Sweden), Dansehallerne (Denmark), Weld (Sweden), Black Box Theatre (Norway), Les Urbaines (Switzerland), Roskilde Festival (Denmark) and Shower (South Korea).

During 2026, Lisen has worked as a performer at the Netherlands Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (Italy), in a vocal based piece by artist Dries Verhoeven.

At the residency at Moving in November, she will enter a choreographic exploration of whistling practices as breath, tones, movement and forms of listening, inviting dance artist Hannah Krebs into the studio.
