Storytellers 

Pernille Stockfleth is a storyteller with a background in music, theatre and pedagogy. With a curious mind, she explores all facets of storytelling with the spoken word. Her stories deal with the big issues in life: power, love and fate. Pernille has a great presence on the stage and can wring both laughter and tears out of her audience, using just her words, body and voice! 

Laura Kamis Wrang has told stories for thousands of children and adults around the whole country since 1990. From horror to comedy, from the past to the present, about love, friends and enemies, the unseen world, the thoughts that fill our heads and the emotions that give flight to our fantasies. Laura tells stories in a way that appeals to all the senses – hearts melt and the world becomes filled with song and music.  

Annemarie Krarup is a lively, charismatic and emotive storyteller and singer from Roskilde. Annemarie has specialised in storytelling based on Danish, Nordic and Arctic culture – especially stories of strong women – but she also tells tales from other parts of the world.
