Tone Kittelsen is a dancer and choreographer from Norway.

She works with dance in various forms and constellations. She creates her own performances, participates as a performer in other artists' work, gives classes and workshops, and produces and curates the contemporary dance festival Ravnedans.

Kittelsen has worked continuously with her own dance for many years - solo dance. Through her solo practice, she developed several solo series, including Solo for the beginning of something never ending (2019 - ) and Frontal Solos (2017 - 2019) where the solos can be shown alone or as a series where several solos are shown one after the other. Kittelsen's work takes shape through scenic works, but also through video work and text. What distinguishes the work is that it has a spontaneity and that they can be shown in different stage spaces. Several of her latest solo works have belonged in the gallery space as in some of the dances it is a point that it is shaped by the surrounding architecture. The performances have been shown at, among others, Kristiansand Kunsthall, Dansens Hus, Bærum Kulturhus and Sørlandet Art Museum.

Her work is characterized by an in-depth exploration of movement and the body's potential, as well as the visual and emotional landscapes that arise through dance.

She has worked as a performer in other artists' works both nationally and internationally. In recent years she has toured and participated in several performances by Tori Wrånes that have been shown at biennials, stage houses and museums worldwide. She has also been employed as a dancer at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet in Bjørvika in Oslo for two periods as part of the operetta Czardasfyrstinnen. Together with Victoria Husby she has started the company Husby/Kittelsen - a company that creates performing arts for children and young people.
