My research currently covers three main areas:

• The cultural history and dramaturgy of imagination studying how spectators engage with  drama in performance, and how historical contexts influence the playwrights and the dramaturgy of imagination?
• Cultural mobility and artistic exchange studying the cultural mobility of travelling artists and how international landscapes were imagined and performed.
• Digital Humanities developing new infrastructures and methods for analysing theatre and drama.

I am head of the international collective research project Artistic Exchanges - The Royal Danish Theatre and Europe. I am also co-founder and co-PI of the www.transnational-stages.net project, which develops an interoperable platform for theatre repertoire databases. See more under Current Projects

I have organised national and international conferences, symposia, exhibitions and cultural events, directing collaborations with world-class institutions such as MIT, University of Oxford, the British Library, Biblioteca Nazionale, Royal Danish Theatre, and the Tivoli Ballet.

I teach and supervise students from BA to PhD level in a broad range of topics, mainly related to dramaturgy, theatre history and historiography.

In 2025, I was awarded the status of Excellent Teaching Practitioner (ETP)/Fremragende underviser (FUND), and, with Gina Dahl, I was the recipient of Spurveugleprisen 2026 for our collaborative workshops in the theatre archive on research-integrated learning and knowledge dissemination.

PI of the international collective research project Artistic Exchanges - The Royal Danish Theatre and Europe. The project explores how the theatre was a “window to the world,” an essential agent for offering the public experiences of foreign cultures and for negotiating cultural identities at a time when international travelling was still rare. Using state of the art digital tools, we are currently developing databases and mappings that will allow us to analyse how artists travelled and how travelling influenced the repertoire and performance practices.

I am co-founder and co-PI of the www.transnational-stages.net project, which offers the opportunity to study national datasets via comparative visualization tools, thereby creating new insights into international theatrical trends in the Early Modern and Modern periods.

In 2020-21, I have also been participating in the pilot project Danish theater archives in the digital era in research and teaching under DeiC (Danish e-Infrastructure Cooperation) and Royal Danish Library’s Cultural Heritage Cluster exploring Ludvig Holberg’s comedies.
