After our education in acting we have specialised ourself in theatre pedagogy and teaching for the higher education. Today, in parallel with our work as actors, we lead workshops both for professionals and students in Denmark and abroad.
Our main influences in our teaching practise are:
- Physical training/movement composition for the creative process and viewpoints
- Maria Knebel's active analysis
- Commedia dell'Arte/mask technique

(Interview at Dramaturgi Dpt. Aarhus Universitet 2020)
"Masks have always been mysterious and fascinating objects: originating from ancient traditions, they bring us, still today, closer to the most unexpressed part of our being, awakening our dreams and making us laugh and cry. Every time you look at a mask, even when completely still, a new, imaginary world - sometimes curious, sometimes funny - instantly opens up; both performing arts and folklore have constantly exploited their remarkable expressive potentiality. But what they mean to me most, it is that masks ask the audience to breathe in a suspended poetic time and to look at the world with the astonishment of a child".
