Steen Bjarke
Creative
The designs of Steen Bjarke have long been enjoyed by audiences throughout the world. Along with his extensive work for the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen he has designed for many acclaimed international choreographers including Peter Schaufuss, John Neumeyer, Maurice Bejare and Kevin McKenzie.
Steen's ability to use light to create moods and changes that closely follow a musical score has helped revive many of the classical Danish Bournonville ballets.
Steen Bjarke was one of the first lighting designers to use the latest motion-controlled technology to create entire set pieces that interact with dancers.
Steen's work includes the creation of designs where light and set join together to form a perfect synthesis.
In 2001 Steen Bjarke did set and light design for the Royal Danish Ballet's Turandot, choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky with the music of Paul Hindemith.
Steen received the Order of Merit for lighting design for A Folktale, featuring sets designed by Her Majesty Queensland Margrethe II of Denmark.
