I am a freelance theatre director, with a Master of Fine Arts in Directing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and 18 years directorial experience, working primarily in Copenhagen, Denmark.
As a collaborative leader, I have a strong sense for language and a passion for experimentation and new play development. My artistic work focuses on re-imagining text-based theatre through experimentation and developing new music theatre collages in the Spoken Word genre, together with performance poets, musicians and dancers and through the use of my unique concept of creative collaboration. My main inspiration is the use of Spoken Word as a new theatrical form.
I am Co-Artistic Director of Teater Ord/Blindt, a professional project-based theatre company, which specialises in developing new work combing performance and poetry. I am also founder and Artistic Director of the English-language theatre Down the Rabbit Hole Theatre and, thereby, Local Artistic Director for House of International Theatre.
If you are interested in working together please feel free to contact me through the contact page at the bottom of this website.
I am founder and co-artistic director, along with spoken word artist Rasmus Rhode. Teater Ord/Blindt’s most notable projects include Pop, which was awarded Best Performance Art, Best Innovation in Design and Best Vocal Performances; Secrets and Banners of Dreams.
DRHT is a professional English-speaking theatre company, that aims to produce professional theatre of the highest quality, with a multi-disciplined and multi-textural aesthetic and a high level of artistic ambition.
