Tuesday, January 28th, 2020Hello. My name is Janne, and I´m a researcher. The past years, as the market for new-built offshore vessels have gone down, and the shuffeling of jobs in the theatre-section has led to less (paid) artistic work for me, I have gone back to my “roots”. Taking all my experience and knowledge both from the artistic […]

A little Gravity is a big deal!

Porto SPACE conference
Saturday, March 30th, 2019The final international conference for the SPACE-project, including lectures and workshops. I always learn so much at these.

Both literally and metaphorically speaking. A small island-state, quite autonomous, ins West-Africa. Only 7500 inhabitants. That´s less than Bømlo! The rich nature was overwhelmingly beautiful. It was hot and humid and rich and green […]
