In creating a link between today’s issues and music, between singing and living stories of today, I hope to create awareness, generate energy and bring people together.
Latest production: Coming of Age
‘What a warm and worthy production!’
‘Funny, moving, terribly musical: it’s all there.’
‘Coming of Age celebrates the sound and freedom of these three strong women.
Wrapped in charm and the infectious joy of acting and singing, it also present sharp
criticism on the norms in the classical singing world, and on perfectionism in
general.’

Latest Musing
This is the remote corner, the flipside. This is where ugliness is stored. Shadows are thrown around erratically and I wander around the area searching, but searching for what? Next to an enormous oak tree, the excavator stands frozen as if enchanted. Rust mixes with tree trunks, but the wild carrot is blooming. Long, glistening threads surround the tractor. A chain saw in the distance. Between the sleepers, ladders and roof tiles stands a sauna on wheels. It looks new. I peek inside and see that the door on the other side is open. Squeezing myself past decaying cages, I notice that the grass near the entrance is trampled. It smells cosy inside. The little stove is beckoning.
I do understand – I would hide here myself.
I leave the door open, the chain saw is drawing closer. A horsefly hovers around me. There is a rustle coming from above. And then with an enormous roar, the old oak tree drops a branch right in front of me. Moss is flying everywhere, dust covers my shoes. Be off, you!
