Play directing
With the right conditions, at the right time and with the right people I am interested in taking on direction assignments. It is a consuming, tiring but also interesting and challenging task to direct. With around eighty productions behind me I have a large experience to use while I at the same time am very curious on what really happens between the first reading and the last performance.

Directing is to collaborate with intelligent and self-going people, both actors and setdesigners, make-up artists, producers, etc. Directing is to
coordinate a process from the start to the last performance meeting the audience and not to create an opening night that than gradually falls to pieces. A theatre performance is, unlike a film, something that breathes and changes with every show. I do not work with film. I work with the actual and ever changing meeting between actors and audience. Because of this I do not work the largest stages – if I were to be offered to direct atthe Royal Dramatic Theatres big stage I would say no thanks.

If it wasn´t about doing a musical. I love (some) musicals. But in order to work with musicals I need
competent musical directors and eventually choreographers at my side. I do not know music and dance. But I have been given the chance to direct several wonderful musicals over the years.

It won´t cost you anything to suggest a project - please contact me. At the moment I am looking forward to a couple of assignments with Spegelteatern but also guest directing at the Guindalera in Madrid.

After 35 years of heading Spegelteatern I am now using my time to write, to work with photography and to plan upcoming projects. At the same time I am trying to make a living. If you have any need for a theatre director, a acting/directing teacher or in the area of communicative leadership please note that I am very interested. I have a long experience and am an appreciated pedagogue.

Visit Spain! And if you do, contact www.eyt.nu - the travel agency that I am part of and will help you will all your arrangements in Spain. They are located in Madrid and speak good English.

A beautiful book on Bertil Vallien´s world famous glasart will be published with texts by Ulla-Britt Edberg that I have been given the honour to tranlate into English.

Thank you David Nachmann for all your help with my homepage and all my computer troubles!
