Pernille Rübner-Petersen
Singer, songwriter and performer
film director and writer - Master of Arts in Modern Culture
In various contexts, I work and perform with singing, music, film, and words.
I play the piano and work with improvisation and different musicians.
Related to my music production I design music videos and other visual material.
Having directed plays on stage as well as having written and directed films, my work in theatre and with films is reflected in my music, songwriting, and singing. It tends to be dramatic and theatrical, yet also atmospheric and evocative.
In articles, I write about cultural and artistic issues – e.g. about film, gender, sexuality, and identity.
