writing about performing arts
In total around 700 performing arts reviews between 1989-2005
Sydsvenska Dagbladet 1989-1998 (third largest newspaper) and Svenska Dagbladet (second largest newspaper in Sweden, national coverage).
During the same years I also wrote number of more extensive reviewing articles/essays as well as interviews with artists, in books and cultural magazines. Here is a selection:
