Assisting scenographer Johan Kølkjær

Since June I have been assisting Johan Kølkjær with scenography in some amazing plays that are premiering over the summer, check them out here:

Dyrene i Hakkebakkeskoven // Teater V – premieres the 13th of August

Knock On Unpainted Wood // MuteComp – premieres the 27th of August

Emdal // Neugarten

In March I assisted Signe Emdal/ Emdal Colorknit with a scenographic solution to her knitted experiment, “A Tree Tale, Chapter One”

We drove to Bornholm with many many meters of Signe’s fabulous Colorknit, and made a forest of fabrics at Grønbechsgaard

Kirsten & Marie

Kirsten & Marie are a pair of 18-yearold twins, who are releasing an EP on the 10th of May on TAMBOURHINOCEROS.

I directed their music video in collaboration with Aske Zidore and Andreas Munksgaard, and I styled them for their press photos by Luca Berti.

The Clan

The Clan is a series of portraits of a made-up society, inspired by a friend who visited a little part of maya-indians who were living isolated from modern society.

I didn’t see any pictures of them.

These paintings were exhibited at Musikteatrets Gallery in Holstebro throughout the month of February

“Ta’ Rummet” (seize the room) is a one-day festival for women. The festival had different kinds of work-shops where you could either learn Bollywood-dancing, how to start your own business, or have a chat with Johanne Schmidt Nielsen about being a young woman in politics. There were many different themes in the many rooms, and I got the job as the “Room Designer”.

Basically my job was to transform “Støberiet” into a colourful and inspiring place, and make it unrecognizable to the people who are used to coming there every day.

I spent 10 days deciding how to design the rooms, explaining it in words and drawings, and then finally coordinating 25-30 volunteers to actually implement my ideas the day before the festival.

I did a lot of stuff by hand, but I also borrowed props from the theatre, Østre Gasværk, to fill up the big spaces with old lamps, books etc, and rented 35 fake mango-trees from FRT I/S.

Here are some photos of the entrance.
