About

Producer with 10+ years' experience delivering internationally touring contemporary dance productions, securing funding, and building partnerships across Europe. I am passionate about artistic innovation and cultural exchange, and I enjoy developing projects that connect with audiences in meaningful ways. By balancing organizational goals with diverse artistic visions, I help create sustainable productions that generate value for both artists and audiences. At Dansehallerne, I have worked on a wide range of projects with local and international artists and partners. I oversee productions from concept to completion, including fundraising, budgeting, contracts, stakeholder coordination, and strategic planning. Drawing on my experience in sales, marketing, and audience development, I strengthen the visibility and impact of artistic projects while ensuring they are both creatively ambitious and financially sustainable.
