Bio
Ingvild Holm has been employed as a professor in performance, acting, and scenography at Norwegian Theatre Academy (NTA), Østfold University College, since 2020.
She completed a 3-year national Artistic Research Fellowship program (equivalent to a Ph.D.) from 2015 to 2020 and is a practicing theater and performance artist. From 2019 to 2022, she received the Government Grants for Artists for her work. Holm engages in interdisciplinary practices within theater and visual arts, where she is responsible for concepts, text, development, and performance. Her doctoral project, "Scenomaten" (PKU/HiØ 2015–2020), was an institution-critical examination of what place and context do to form and content in a series of works with the place itself in the leading role. Her artistic development work revolves around object-oriented performance art, performative scenography, text as an object, object dramaturgy, ontology, site specificity, precarity, and reuse.
In recent years, Holm has been involved in several externally funded and international artistic development projects, including "Resite Venice" funded by the Program for Artistic Development (PKU/Diku), Venice Research Pavilion (2017), and "Blind Spot," funded by the Program for Artistic Development (PKU/Diku), Norwegian Theatre Academy, HiØ, HZT/UDK Berlin, BIT Teatergarasjen, Bergen Electronic Arts Centre (BEK), Tranzit Foundation Bucharest Romania, Canada Council for the Arts, and Conseil des Arts et des Lettres Quebec (2016–2017). Additionally, Holm has extensive experience in leadership, development, and participation in performances and exhibitions nationally and internationally. She was a member of the performing arts collective Baktruppen from 1987 to 2011. Holm has served on expert committees for the evaluation of fellowship applications at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO), been a member of assessment committees for Ph.D. candidates at KHiO and the Norwegian Academy of Music, and has been developing and leading courses and workshops since 2015, as well as providing teaching and guidance to students at the bachelor's and master's levels.
