Linda is invited to direct, teach and act throughout the world.

In recent years she has directed, among other things, a series of solos for women performers, and a Jazz Opera co-produced by Boreas Teater and the Oslo National Theatre.
Passionately concerned with a vision of the voice that engages the widest possible perspective on each person's individuality, she incorporates into her practice a range of vocal approaches, from Roy Hart's extended range techniques, to bel canto, to Feldenkreis. She has taught voice in the National Theatre Schools of Copenhagen, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Scotland and is a visiting teacher at the Limoges and Strasbourg French National Theatre Schools. She collaborates with an international circle of artists and thinkers in the field of therapy, archetypal psychology and mythology.
