● In connection with my work with the children's and youth theatre "Fuld fart frem" ("Full Speed Ahead"), I set up a series of performances during 1989-93. All the pieces were written in collaboration with the children and the young people:
"Mens vi venter på desserten"
("While we wait for pudding")
"Aser og jætter" (about the Nordic Gods and their enemies) - with economic support from the Danish Ministry of Culture and from the Danish Dramatist Society's fund for new drama in amateur dramatics.
"Brænd Borgen" ("Burn down the Castle") - with economic support from the Danish Cultural Foundation.
