SVALHOLM – a dance company led by Nønne Mai Svalholm, delves into deeply felt and sensory theatrical spaces, where the cracks in human psyche and existence are given space to breathe and unfold. Here, hyper-sensitive, powerful, and visually captivating works are created—evocative stage images that awaken and challenge the audience's imagination, placing them in a world that is both fragile and moving, yet full of strength, courage, and profound existential reflection.
With carefully selected materials, textures, and meticulously balanced, saturated colors, SVALHOLM creates spaces that invite a sensory immersion into the most fundamental questions: What is hope, faith, and meaning? The company’s works become a moving quest for an understanding of the psychological and the universal; they invite surrender, gratitude, and the realization that while we cannot control everything, we can choose to embrace the mystery and uncertainty of life.
The creations from SVALHOLM are a hybrid of dance, choreography, visual art, music, and psychological exploration that speak to both mind and senses. With a strong presence, the dancers craft a physical and poetic language that resonates directly with the audience's desires and dreams, confronting them with their own vulnerability and hopes.
Music is an integral part of SVALHOLM’s universe, acting both as a catalyst for movement and as a pulse that ties the entire experience together. The sounds become an invitation for the audience to surrender and step into a world where they are enveloped and become part of something greater, if only for a moment.
In 2022, Nønne Mai Svalholm and SVALHOLM were selected by the Danish Arts Foundation for the "Young Artistic Elite" program, running until 2024.
