About

My name is Marlene Bonnesen. Besides being into drawing, drinking coffee, biking, and hanging out with people that I love, I am also a dancer and performer within the contemporary dance field currently based between Oslo and Copenhagen. 

I finished my BA in dance and choreography at The Danish National School of Performing Arts in Copenhagen in 2015, and I hold an MA in Dance from The National Academy of The Arts in Oslo, 2023. 

In 2015 I co-founded the dance collective Danseatelier with 10 other dancers, choreographers and friends in Copenhagen which today functions as a workspace, a place to share practices, host workshops and festivals, and develop artistic ideas and concepts. Next to my engagement with this group, I freelance between various independent projects and productions. 

In 2025, I was engaged as Rehearsal Director for the Swedish dance company Norrdans (www.norrdans.se). 

This webpage is meant to give an insight of some of the works that I have made either alone, in collaboration with other artists, or things that I am currently busy with or interested in.
