I have collectively been running the space DANSEatelier the last 10 years. It is a space and a group consisting of 11 colleagues, dancers/choreographers and friends working within the expanded field of dance and choreography in Copenhagen, as well as internationally. The initiative sprung out from a need for continuity, a space to share knowledge and support each other emotionally and artistically. We work with alternative modes of production and togetherness in the field of dance, finding new configurations of exchange that can enhance our senses of collective thinking and interdependent living. DANSEatelier is an ongoing organisational and creative research in collectivity and choreography morphing with time and needs.

 

DANSEatelier consists of Nanna Stigsdatter Mathiassen, Olivia Rivière, Snore Elvin, Meleat Fredriksson, Karis Zidore, Emilia Gasiorek, Sandra Liaklev Andersen, Ingvild Bertelsen, Marlene Bonnesen, Isolde Daun and Stine Frandsen.
