Køteren og Terrieren (NO/DK) is an artistic duo composed of Bjørk-Mynte Paulse (she/her) a danish artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark and Jonathan Ibsen (he/him) a danish artist based in Oslo, Norway.

Their artistic interest lies in challenging and questioning societal norms. Through the lens of a trans woman of color and a white homosexual man, they examine the world we live in and aim to contextualize challenges surrounding gender, sexuality, and identity. With curiosity and an untamed approach their ambition is to engage, challenge, and create dialogue. With choreography as a tool, they attempt to re-stage the reality we inhabit, to find alternative spaces where stories, narratives and futures can unfold in new ways. 

They are interested in the intersection between what is, and what could have been. Their work explores how intimate experiences and understandings can collapse and reemerge in contexts that do not follow traditional understandings and notions of time. By deconstructing, rebuilding and rewriting the “known” they attempt to create space for speculations that themselves can take on tangible physical forms. 

They are committed to creating art that dares to bring urgent contemporary issues to the forefront. Through their work, they strive to break down barriers and foster a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that shape our identities and society. Their work is an invitation participate in a reflection and dialogue around the structures that define and limit us, in the aim of opening up for new possibilities.
