It’s blowing outside here at BIRCA and we’ve had to light up the wood stove, a sign that the season is about to end. BUT … before that happens, we have a culture week program to present – and I am super proud of how much it will be this year. First we start the […]

As it has probably dawned on most people, I am mostly at BIRCA these days and have had a wonderful spring. We are now closing down a few weeks for the summer – and it happens after the busiest spring in BIRCA’s history. That despite – or maybe just because of the corona crisis. All […]

I make an effort to be the best version of myself every day. The version that sees other people and supports their way in life. The version that does not cause unnecessary noise in the world. That supports my surroundings. A person to deserve trust. A person that adds something new to the world.   […]

Working internationally is absolutely essential to me – it’s in my blood. I started out in the 90s with Trevor Davies as a mentor in the Copenhagen Culture City 96 days, where we had a stream of international projects and guest performances – and it has been in my blood ever since.
