Ida Haugen is a Norwegian-Vietnamese dancer, performer and choreographer based in Oslo. She works across contemporary dance and performing arts in collaborative, collective and independent contexts.

Her practice is rooted in contemporary dance and improvisation, with a particular focus on the interplay between movement, voice and presence. She is interested in how embodied expression shifts across different artistic contexts, and in participating in dynamic, process-oriented work.

As a performer, Haugen has collaborated with a range of artists and institutions in Norway and internationally, including Kari Hoaas Productions, Nagelhus Schia Productions, Oslo Koreografiske, Carte Blanche and The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet.

As a choreographer, she has created works such as Rose Water, Hot Moon and Big Dreams, presented at venues including Black Box teater, Rosendal Teater, Dansens Hus and Bærum Kulturhus.

Haugen holds a BA in Contemporary Dance from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO) and has received working grants from Arts Council Norway.
