Orfee Schuijt (FR/NL) is a dancer and choreographer based in Oslo, Norway. Originally from France, she earned her BA from the Theaterschool of Amsterdam and later completed a Master in New Performative Practices at DOCH in Stockholm.

From 2017 to 2020, she collaborated with Norwegian experimental pop singer Jenny Hval, touring internationally and creating performative concerts and exhibitions connected to Hval's albums at prestigious venues and festivals including Noma PS1, Øya Festival, Roskilde, Big Ears, Arcosanti, and Ultima Festival.
Schuijt’s own works, including Thing Power, Fabulation, and Shaking the Libidinous, have been showcased at international venues and festivals such as Blackbox Teater in Oslo, Rimi/Imir in Stavanger, Weld in Stockholm, Ehkå Spring Roll Festival in Turku, and Rosendal Teater in Trondheim.
