Scene Kunst Skoler, the performance school group founded by Britain’s Russell Collins and his Danish wife Christina Anthony, wrapped up 2015 in style with a sold-out show at Det Ny Teater on November 23.
A huge range of age groups, from 7 to 18, performed extracts from musicals, solos, modern dance, silent movie tributes and even Shakespeare (top right) to an enthralled audience of parents and friends of the stars.

Featuring the 230 students (top left) enrolled at the Scene Kunst schools based in Lyngby and Hellerup (both international and Danish), nisser, trolls and even the Julemand himself brought those gathered an early dollop of festive spirit.

“Who says ‘Miracles’ don’t happen in our time!” applauded Claudia, one of the parents – a reference to International School Hellerup’s performance of ‘Miracle’ from ‘Matilda – the Musical’, the standout performance of the night.

“Hard work, amazing result – a wonderful performance! Thank you!!”

“Thank you for the wonderful show yesterday. We laughed a lot and had a great time,” chimed Laura Davidsen, a news correspondent at TV2.

It was certainly an impressive effort by Collins and his team – a testament to how far they have come since launching in 2008.

Make your voice heard as an expat

In my last op-ed, I made the case that we, expats living in Denmark, need to step up if we want to tackle the headaches that seem baked into expat life—e.g., counterintuitive laws and endless paperwork. With almost 16% of Denmark’s population made up of internationals, we actually have the numbers to influence real change. But after publishing the last op-ed, several readers contacted me and asked: Okay, but what can we actually do?
