CURRENT MISSION

changing the world by building a global movement of performance-activists

ABOUT ME

I live in Central Copenhagen (Denmark) and currently work as a (public) school psychologist there while building a global movement of performance-activists - headed by the East Side Institute where I volunteer.

I dig development. What I love most is to create developmental learning environments with people. Whether that be in schools, my office, your organization, our conversation, or my bedroom I want us to create an environment of trust, collaboration, creativity and not-knowing. I believe that's where my passion and talent intersect, and where I can give most to others, the world and myself. What's your element?

I'm seriously playful. I carefully use any opportunity to expand what we dare do together. To unveil and subvert the taken for granted. To expand my repertoire. To develop my understanding and practice of play and performance and how it relates to development, fun and worldchanging. Whether that be in improv, conversation, building lego or being plain silly. Do you want to play with me?

I'm determined to continue to develop as a leader and a proactive organizer of my conditions, i.e. taking seriously my need and want for support and community. I'm trying a new performance of not talking so much about it - neither frustrations nor aims - and focus on doing it instead. It's very developmental for me - and tough! Who are you working to become?

I love listening, questioning, philosophizing, organizing (and other 'ings) and I would love to meet you. Do you want to meet?

PHILOSOPHY

We make history. Every day we collectively improvise a day in the world and over the last 60.000 years we have improvised/created language, religions, science, technology, laws, traditions, norms, and this computer I'm working on - and we can change them all. Anything that we created (and some things we didn't) we can change. In that sense, we are all revolutionaries - and we should get to work.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted 4 times, and surfed in the US, but most of all I've participated in and organized CS events in e.g. Denmark, New York, Budapest and continue to introduce new people to Couchsurfing. Feel free to check out my references

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've participated 3 times in the biannual festival Performing The World in New York - a ter­rif­i­cally diverse and united gath­er­ing of 450+ per­for­mance activists from 38 coun­tries. In this envi­ron­ment, new kinds of con­ver­sa­tions between and among diverse voices are cre­ated: between the acad­emy and grass­roots activists; between diverse cul­tures; between dif­fer­ent views on the nature of social trans­for­ma­tion and the means of achiev­ing it; among words and move­ment and touch.
