    ISLE in the Woods, live concert production

    Service

    Creative
    Producer

    In a live production, the idea has to hold up when planning, technology and people come together. That is where I like to be involved.

    Profile

    Creative producer with more than 20 years of experience developing and delivering professional stage productions and cross-disciplinary projects.

    Specialised in conceiving artistic concepts and translating them into executable productions where music, text, performance and audience experience come together.

    With a background in technology and marketing communications, I play a strong connecting role between artistic, production and organisational disciplines in complex productions.

    Larger productions start early. Ideally, involve me during the concept or planning phase, so I can connect artistic ambition, feasibility, team and execution from the outset.

    Why me

    The producer who stays until it works

    More than 20 years of production experience with ensembles, organisations and initiatives in theatre, concerts, festivals and site-specific projects. That is not a line on a CV, it is a way of working. I know what a production needs because I have built them, from the first sketch to the curtain call.

    What sets me apart? I think at both concept and execution level at the same time. I see the artistic direction and the production reality. I speak the language of the maker and the technician. That makes me effective at the point where many productions get stuck: translating what you want into what you can actually deliver.

    From developing temporary cultural locations from scratch to producing more than 50 professional concert productions, large-scale festival acts and opera tours. I am the producer who keeps an overview, gets people moving and takes responsibility for the whole.

    I am not a report writer who disappears after the presentation. I stay until it is in place, feels the way it should and everyone can be proud of the result.
