Theatre and Music are my passion and my profession!
I’ve been directing many different styles of theatre. From small school productions to huge outdoor shows with 100 participants on stage. From Opera to comedy. I worked with children with disabilities, amateurs, future social workers, teachers and professional actors. Collaborations with living authors, plays of past playwrights, work based on poems or a novel and devised theatre from scratch. With my new collective I’m looking forward to develop theatre with a focus on topics, I am interested in, which in my case are economical, social and environmental issues.
