Iben Nagel Rasmussen is an actor,
director, teacher and writer. She was born in 1945 in Copenhagen,
Denmark. She was the first actor to join Odin Teatret after its
arrival in Holstebro in 1966. In 1983 she founded, parallel
with her work at Odin Teatret, the group Farfa with actors from
various countries. Farfa created a personal training programme and
several performances. Since 1989 she has lead The Bridge of Winds (Vindenes
Bro), a recurrent yearly project with actors from Latin America
and Europe who share their artistic experience and create
performances. Since 1999 New Winds (Nye Vinde) a
group of younger actors has existed and is working under the same
principles. In 1986 Iben Nagel Rasmussen was given an award as
"Best Actress" at BITEF in Belgrade, Jugoslavia, and in 1991
"Håbets Pris" (the "Prize of Hope") in Denmark. Her professional
experiences are presented in The Actor's Way edited by
Erik Exe Christoffersen and in the video documentary The
Transparent Body edited by Claudio Coloberti. She has
published two books: Brev til en veninde and Den
blinde hest (Italian transl. Il cavallo cieco,
Bulzoni 2006) as well as several articles in journals such as
Teatro e Storia and The Open Page. She is the
author, director and actor of the performance Ester's Book
and is only actress of the film Dressed in White,
directed by Torgeir Wethal.
