Kirsten Dehlholm is the founder and
artistic director of Hotel Pro Forma (1985-). Based in Copenhagen. With a background in the visual arts
Kirsten Dehlholm works with theatre and performance art since 1977. Her current
work includes concept and direction for Hotel Pro Forma as well as directing for
opera houses and theatres internationally. Hotel Pro Forma is a production
company of performance and exhibition. Every production is a new experiment and
contains a double staging: contents and space. The architecture and the
traditions of the venue are part of the performance as a co-player. Perception,
perspective and themes from the world today intertwine with each other in a conceptual,
visual work of art. Each production is the result of a close collaboration of
professionals from many disciplines: the visual arts, architecture, music,
literature, science, digital media and natural science. The productions by
Hotel Pro Forma are characterized by immense diversity, as the space, concept,
collaborators, and performers change from one production to the next. Kirsten Dehlholm and Hotel Pro Forma
has created performances for museums and public buildings as well as for
theatres and opera houses worldwide.
