Annika Johansson is a dance artist from Minneapolis, Mni Sota Makoce. They create dance for both theaters and public spaces and have shown work at the Casket Arts Building, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Red Eye Theater’s Works in Progress, and ARENA DANCES’ Candy Body Dance Festival. They are passionate about collaboration and investigating process and bring the same curiosity to projects of all scopes. When citing their experience as an artist and body, they return to thank the trans and queer elders and friends who helped them ask questions and discover their truest self.
