The initiator of Age on Stage and the international meeting point. This year’s conference is to celebrate the invited doctors and therapists who actually can give hope and possibilities to continue life as a dancer when the body falls apart. And to give their information further to YOU.

Almost anything is possible!

Charlotta had a complete hip replacement done 4 years ago with Dr Laude in Paris. She was in ballet class 2 months after surgery and on stage 3 months after and has since a completely new life. Unfortunately, her left ankle had to go through 3 surgeries and a serious infection which made her handicapped. 10 months ago she met Dr Preis in Wiesbaden who exchanged the complete ankle joint- meaning a total ankle replacement. She is the first professional dancer in the world to undergo this surgery. She was back on stage 7 month later.

Charlotta started Age on Stage in Sweden followed by the festival FUCKING BURN IT- Age on Stage fall 2015. She is burning for the continuation of creating a platform for experienced artists and dance as a tool for creativity, vitality and passion.

She has had a long international career as dancer and choreographer and has since 1995 produced her own work which has toured all over Europe and the US.
