Dorte Olesen, born and raised in Denmark, moved to Stockholm in 1988 to study dance pedagogy at the University College of Dance (1988-91). A few years later, choreography took center stage in her life and Olesen completed choreography studies in 1998. From 1996 - 2000, she staged a number of works all highly acclaimed for their self-will. From 2000 - 2004, she worked as choreographer at a number of Sweden’s largest theatres: including the Royal Dramatic Theater, Stockholms Stadsteater and Göteborgs Stadsteater. Her latest work includes Bad Girl, Poodle and Monday. Olesen is currently the 2006 resident choreographer at Dansens Hus. At the Nobel Banquet she is presenting a character from her latest work Monday, danced by Kristiina Viiala. (Quelle: www.dansenshus.se) / jst
