Zero Visibility Corp is a contemporary dance company based in Oslo, Norway which was founded in 1996 by its choreographer Ina Christell Johannessen and lighting and set designer, Jens Sethzman. Their productions are developed from improvisation with a stylistic approach that has overtones of martial arts and acrobatics.[1] As well as improvisation, the conceptual sources of their work are film, literature and news stories which combine to generate an intentional ambivalence.[2]

The company has toured its work internationally, in Europe, Australia, the United States, and Canada and has become one of Norway's most internationally recognised dance companies.[3] Their work has been featured in several notable arts and contemporary dance festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland; NOTT Dance, UK; Fierce!, UK; and euro-scene, Germany.[4]
