Dorte Olesen

Dorte Olesen, a Danish-Swedish creative genius, is a choreographer who smashes all rules.

On the scene for over 20 years, she completed her studies at the Danshögskolan in Stockholm, then went on to create several incredible works, including Ful Flicka (2004), Pudel (2005) and, more recently, Boy and Boy (2007).

Gender issues always play a central role in her work, as do ideas on identity and belonging. Femmes Bûcherons is her first major performance in an open public space and is performed by non-dancers.
