About SVALHOLM

 

Nønne Mai Svalholm / SVALHOLM

Nønne Mai Svalholm’s artistic practice explores the profound currents shaping our society and contemporary world. At the intersection of dance, choreography, and installation art, she allows these narratives to take form as intergenerational encounters. Through carefully selected movements, materials, textures, and saturated colors, she creates intense, poetic experiences that resonate with fundamental human conditions.

As the Artistic Director of SVALHOLM, Nønne Mai Svalholm delves into deeply felt and sensuous experiential spaces, where the cracks in human psychology and sensory perception are given room to breathe and unfold. Here, powerful and visually compelling stage imagery emerges—awakening the audience’s imagination and placing them in a world that is fragile, yet filled with strength, courage, and profound existential reflection.

Music is an integral part of SVALHOLM’s universe, serving both as a catalyst for movement and as a vital thread that binds the entire experience together. The sounds become an invitation for the audience to surrender and step into a world where, for a moment, they are enveloped and become part of something greater.

Nønne Mai Svalholm was selected by the Danish Arts Foundation for the Young Artistic Elite program (2022–2024).
