Susanne Irene Fjørtoft is a performance artist, theater maker and freelance scenographer. She has her early education in visual arts from Ålesund Kunstfagskole and a BA in scenography from Norwegian Theater Academy. She started out as a co-founder and creator in the flat structured theater company LIVESTOCK and later became a central part of the likeminded company Happy Gorilla. In search of a personal expression in collaborations and group works she has now taken a step back to deepen her practical knowledge on wood and woodwork while pursuing a more solitary and personal path of artistic exploration.
