Eske Holm, born 1940, is a Danish dancer and choreographer with a long
past in Denmark's ballet companies and dance theatre. Throughout his
career he has put equal weight on established theatre and the more
experimental, "off-Broadway" productions. He has included social
statements as well as artistic ones, and has stated a combined a focus
on graciousness, power and cunning. His dancing career evolved since
the early 1970s after a youth which saw him take interest in
literature, music and, in turn, dance. In 1998 he published his memoirs
as "Dansen med de dobbelte budskaber", and in 2001 he released a
documentary about his work and his appreciation of dance. He has also
written books about a number of topics, released an instruction video
for a workout system and taken an interest in the pedagogy of dance
training.
