BENTE BULENS 

Bente Bulens is a dancer, explorer, and performer who graduated from PERA - School of Performing Arts in Cyprus. Where she focused on the technical fundamentals of contemporary dance, improvisation, and composition while exploring her individuality. In her education, she participated in deep processes and performed in different performances by Jos Baker, Rafaela Sahyoun, Anton Lachky, Guy Nader & Maria Campos, and Sevim Akpinar. She co-created a duet with Beata Rekemova called ‘Attracted by repulsion’, performed in various European festivals in 2023. She also choreographed her solo called ' beyond after', which was supported by Danspunt in Belgium in 2023/2024. Before she started her bachelor's degree at PERA, she was a member of G.A.P., Gangaray artistic program in Budapest. Here she could dive into the practices of Hámor József and Timea Mayday Kinga. Bente has developed a strong interest in the absurdness of a movement, density, repetition, surrealism, and the search for exhaustion in certain movement qualities
