LENA bruun BONDESON
theaterdirector, performing artist & producer
danish / swedish - born 1988 - she/her
based in copenhagen & stockholm
I am a theatre director, performer, and producer,
specializing in contemporary physical theatre and immersive performances.
I co-founded the cross-Nordic performing arts collective BRAVO TOGA and have been fundraising, producing, and creating performances in the independent scene since 2015.
With extensive international touring experience, I have also been part of several cross-sectorial projects that combine practice and theory.
In 2019, I performed in the Reumert award-winning production by SIGNA. My work has been supported by all major arts funding programmes in Sweden, Denmark, and the Nordics, alongside several private, municipal, and regional funds.
During my MFA in directing at the Danish National School of Performing Arts, I conducted a two-year-long Artistic Research project. This included an exchange at the renowned MA in Choreography & Performance at JLU in Giessen, Germany. I also hold a BA in Physical Acting from Stockholm University of the Arts.
I am actively engaged in cooperative structures as a member of KOMMA Performance Productions (DK) and Kulturkooperativet Interim Kultur (SE), where I have served on the board since 2023.
