Harald Beharie (he/they) is a Norwegian-Jamaican choreographer based in Oslo. In a quest to dissect established corporeal narratives Beharie’s work celebrates a spectrum of embodiment—ranging from the pathetic to the ecstatic, the collapsing to the exuberant, the faltering to the tenacious, while fostering queer playfulness. Beharie’s focus is being with local people and developing ideas with and within the community. In 2023 Batty Bwoy won the Hedda prize for “best dance production”.
