About

Denise Lim is a Singaporean dancer and choreographer, currently based in Berlin. Her practice is deeply interested in the body’s confrontation with objects and environments; how it forms and is formed, invites and rejects closeness, pleasure and the gaze. Using methods of scoring and improvising, she works towards intensities that enchant and invite experimental modes of witnessing.

Since moving to Berlin in 2020, Denise makes performances in public spaces in Berlin as part of the Club for Performance Art Gallery and for graw böckler garageN. From Jan 2022, she is also a member of Altes Finanzamt e.V., a queer feminist collective in Neukolln, where she initiates P0SSE - dance and reading group. Denise holds a BFA in Dance and Choreography from the Danish National School of Performing Arts in Copenhagen. She was a recipient of the ImPulsTanz danceWEB scholarship in 2019, and received DISTANZSOLO: Förderprogramm für Soloselbständige Tanzschaffende for her artistic work in 2021-2022.
