About
Denise Lim (she/they) is a Singaporean dancer and choreographer based in Berlin, working across theatre, film, and site-specific contexts. Her collaborative practice explores the body’s encounter with objects and environments - how it shapes and is shaped, invites and resists proximity, pleasure, and the gaze. Through improvisation and score-based methods, she cultivates heightened states of presence and experimental modes of witnessing. Recently, Denise deepened her research through the study of Thai traditional massage in Chiang Mai - expanding her somatic approach, and exploring touch and intimacy within movement practice.
Denise graduated with BFA in Dance and Choreography from the Danish National School of Performing Arts in Copenhagen in 2020. And is currently doing her Masters in Choreography and Performance at Justus Liebig University in Giessen. She was a recipient of the Impulstanz Danceweb scholarship in 2019 and Atlas program in 2025.
