”[…]alt. org can be viewed as a live process in the art of avoiding all patterns, hierarchies and functions of the body, space and choreography. […]It is a physical experiment that affirms the transient in existence, or associative trying out different life forms emergence and survival. […]a philosophical work which cleverly twists the concept of evolution and the perception of nature and man.” – Anna Ångström, SvD 26/11-2011.

As a choreographer he desires to re‐think life and and its physical forces. Always critical to how the gravity impacts the body, as much as how cultural projections curtails the body. With a smile to the never ending hunt for trend, Sebastian turns to the bastardization of conservative norms, speculations on another body, always choosing a healthy distance, but always ready to be a true believer. Considering his work to be involved in the fabrication of new rules for the body and its behaviors.

“Rare are – and I don’t recall an example here – performances in which the very movement genesis is considered to be writing /écriture/ in the Derridean sense, or taking into account the rules and laws that underly any (cultural) production. Dance-makers whose work is driven by an urge to produce a new dance language often conflate this language with ’”speech”, the expression of the personal, spontaneous, often also romanticized, hidden, inner self. Sebastian has emerged as a choreographer who seeks out the writing of choreography, because art develops when its rules change, so what else can a choreographer who is seriously committed to the art of choreography do than try to set up other rules?” – Bojana Cvejic (lecturer and PhD researcher in contemporary dance and performance)

In 2011 Sebastian founded the company KASS produktion (between 2010-2016 it was co-run together with Allison Ahl). A company which all his choreographic works has been created, in close collaboration with venues such as Weld, MDT, and The House of Dance in Stockholm. Sebastian has been dancing and choreographing the last 18 years, training bodily and mental muscles on equal terms, he considers dance as a means to reimagine the human subject.
