FUN FACTS
 

Irlin have been doing motion capture sessions for the multiplayer online game"The Secret World". Some of the avatar's dances are her moves.


"Infected" was a choreographic piece about what would happen if a new pandemic came. Irlin and Radix perfomed the piece in China, 6 months later Covid Pandemic started.


Her first international performance was in the Netherland (age: 16) She was invited due to dance videos on YouTube. She was among the first dancers to post on YouTube.


“Hvem eier” was Irlin’s first music video as a choreographer, where she also appeared as a dancer alongside childhood star Lotta (Raylee). 10–15 years later, the video has reached more than 2.3 million views. In a viral TikTok post, hundreds of women say that Irlin’s presence in the video was the moment they first realized they were attracted to women.


At 17, Irlin was in the premiere episode of Norways Got Talent, first season. The season was the most viewed tv-reality ever by 2018 in Norway. She got to the semi finale. One woman in Fredrikstad named her baby "Irlin" after seeing Irlins performance.


Irlin worked with the scientists building the early stages of AI. Training the computer to understand dancer's movements to music.


Irlin started dancing after being inspired by Michael Jackson. His influence and her many MJ-Tributes made her the "key person" in one of the first big "Michael Jackson is still alive" conspiracies.


Irlin do not dance pole. But she directed, choreographed and coordinated Norways first Pole and aerial acrobatic stage production, in 2017. She been working closely with the pole community for many years.


At only 16 years old, Irlin produced, coordinated and choreographed her first stage productions with local talents in southern Norway. All shows sold out.
