Bryn Bridgen and Linnea Goldstrom

We are two emerging choreographers whose creative practice is deeply rooted in improvisation and sensation-based work, influenced heavily by our training in New York City. Our movement research explores internal dynamics, rhythms, and sensations to amplify and inform our physicality. Collaboration lies at the heart of our process, as we intertwine ideas to craft architecture, grooves, and scenes that feel intentional and organic. We approach creation as a personal quest to push the boundaries of our physical bodies, believing that leaning into what already exists within us—our instincts, emotions, and histories—can be transformed into something uniquely moving and resonant. Through this work, we aim to create art that invites connection and discovery for both ourselves and our audiences.Our shared creative journey began at GibneyPRO in the Professional Certificate Program, where we choreographed our first joint work, The Rest is Noise, in 2023.Now based in Vancouver, we are eager to branch out and further establish ourselves in the city's vibrant dance community. Opportunities like this residency are invaluable as we take the next steps in sharing our work, exploring our artistic voices, and contributing to the creative landscape of Vancouver.
