"Without imagination, I don't believe that we can change anything in the world. We must be able to imagine, in order to be able to develop." - Tabita Friis Kristensen
I am a Danish stage director, educated from the University of the Arts in Amsterdam, Netherland and with a master from The Danish National School of Performing Arts.
I have directed and written several theatre plays that have been shown on various theatres and theatre festivals, across Europe.
My aim with making theatre is to tell stories through a visual experience in the theatrespace, which can bring the audience new thoughts, the possibility of looking into themself or to bring them a new perspective on our world.
In my practice I want to explore the border between imaginary worlds and our reality. I want to create images that speaks to our imagination.
At the same time it is important for me to reach out and let the unheard voices speak, and let the unheard stories be told. I am interested in themes as lonelyness, decay, dream and life/death.
