Manda Jønsson

Director Set designer

Director / Theatre maker based in London and Copenhagen.

Having 9 years of experience in the professional theatre industry in Copenhagen, I am exploring the theatrical industry of London. I enjoy taking risks while listening to my gut instinct and collaborators. My approach is curious, experimental, playful and my work focusses on asking critical questions, may it be to an existing text of a play or a contemporary devised piece. I aim to stage performances with a clear set of artistic choices, and I often use audience interactions, surprises, contrasts, tonal shifts and sound/music as tools to serve the logic of the piece.
