AboutMy 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.
