Heine Røsdal Avdal says he never made any conscious career choices but let himself guide by what came along. He desperately tried to get a job in the Norwegian National Ballet and State Modern Dance Company, and when he did not succeed, decided to go to Germany to do auditions. That did not work for him either. He decided to stop looking for work and to start creating his own work. He got into P.A.R.T.S. and through a workshop he came in contact with Meg Stuart and Yukiko Shinozaki who later became his wife. After working for Meg Stuart in her company "Damaged Goods" (1997-2001) the two of them decided to start making their own work. In 2002 they founded their own collective "deepblue" together with Christoph De Boeck. He also develops installation-performances such as “Sauna in Exile” (with Mette Edvardsen, Liv Hanne Haugen and Lawrence Malstaf), “Box with holes” (in 2009 presented in Riga) and “drop a line”. Currently he is working on a series of site-specific performances with Yukiko Shinozaki called “Field Works”. In these small-scale performances every type of location, but also every individual place of showing brings its own artistic material.

When making performances, Heine Røsdal Avdal starts from a non-hierarchical view on all elements involved. People, space and objects are seen as intermediate places where information is being collected, stored and re-materialised.
In recent projects he questions how spatial conventions affect the way we experience and move through private/public spaces. Considering people’s preconceptions of spatial conventions and through slight shifts and manipulations, he searches for unexpected intersections between different components of a space.
