Daniel Mariblanca - Carte Blanche
The Norwegian national company of contemporary dance

Daniel Mariblanca

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Daniel began his professional dance career immediately after graduating from the L'Institut del Teatre in Barcelona. In 2016, after 15+years of dancing professionally around Europe, Daniel joined Carte Blanche. In the same year he created his own company, 71BODIES.

Since then, Daniel has received two nominations for the Pernilleprisen Audience Award in 2018 for 71BODIES 1DANCE and in 2020 for Time With You Is Precious, garnered the award for Artist of the Year from the Municipality of Bergen (2018), and recently received Bergen Tidende’s Critics’ Award at Pernilleprisen 2021 for In First Person.

Daniel enjoys working collaboratively with incoming choreographers and dancers. In his own practices, he utilizes dance and performance as a tool to generate artistic expressions through the personal stories and lived experiences of people that do not belong to mainstream society with the aim to create other ways to appreciate beauty and generate desire.
