Robe: What do you do normally?

Sune: I work full time as project manager and production designer in a rental company, and freelance as a lighting designer for theatre shows and music artists.

Robe: Where are you right now?

Sune: I live and work in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Robe: What are you doing to fill the time whilst isolating / on lockdown?

Sune: In Denmark, we are still allowed to go to work (as long as social distancing is practised), so every morning I drive through an almost empty capital to go to work at the rental company.

We do what we can to keep the wheels turning, and luckily, we still have work to do! A large part of the company has started maintenance on all the kit that we have which there is much less time to do normally.

In April, I’m co-designing a theatre-concert and will be working towards the premiere. Hopefully, it will end up being staged – if not then – maybe later this year.

Robe: What’s the most creative thing you’re able to do in isolation?

Sune: Hopefully I can soon start programming a tour for this upcoming summer ... if all the summer festivals are not also cancelled!

If there’s time, I will look into some of the free online courses that are available and find inspiration in learning something new!

Robe: Are you looking after anyone else during the Covid-19 crisis?

Sune: Yes, I do weekly shopping for my 96-year-old Grandma, so she can stay indoors as much as possible in these times ... even though she likes to take a run in the park as her exercise!

Robe: Has anyone inspired you since this started?

Sune: Yes, the Danish government … and what it has achieved to turn the curve of infection and prevent the complete chaos as we are seeing in other parts of the world! That’s inspiring to me right now!

Robe: Favourite book / movie / Netflix series / viral video

Sune: The Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz (famous theatre in Berlin on the Kurfürstendamm boulevard) are showing nightly recordings of all the performances that they have staged since the beginning.

It’s all in German, but very beautiful to watch!

Robe: What’s the first thing you’d like to do when we are through it?

Sune: I want to invite all my friends over for a drink and a bite to eat! I can’t wait to see them again! Maybe start up the BBQ season!

Robe: Own question / answer / message of solidarity or something you’d like to say?

Sune: I absolutely can’t wait to see you all again! Remember to stay safe and stay creative. Enjoy the things you normally don’t have time to do ... and maybe learn something new! Lots of love.
