​

I am an educated actor and producer, born and raised in Denmark. Mixed Danish, South African and Zanzibarian — I am often referred to as a true cocktail.

I studied acting in the US, and chose to take my studies there because I wanted to explore what traveling away from home could give me. It has become essential to my art to perform and tell stories on a global scale.

 

My work has brought me to Kenya, Greece, Finland, and the US where it all started.

Much of my work has been centered around questions of identity and belonging, and I wish to keep exploring these and challenging the ideas around them. Read more about what I wish to pursue in my development statement below.

Development Statement

 

​​​​In my creative practice, I've experienced being limited to a category. A color, a gender, a minority. It has limited my sense of belonging, and understanding of my identity.

​

I wish to change that in my work, and seek out the narratives that come from lived experiences, while breaking with the expectations placed on minority narratives. What I do now, is create space for conversation and the questions that feel urgent and alive in the world, and make these performances available for students and young people to further explore. I am currently drawn to narratives from voices that rarely get to speak in their full complexity. This is why I decided to work on the play "The Lonely Soldier Monologues" which is my first work as a producer. 

​

I want to tell stories that belong to everyone with the opportunity to meet each other in our differences and reach underneath them, to the place where we relate. I call it making the foreign feel familiar.
