Has got a New Director. New Principal. Her name is Marie-Louise Ekman. News Today.
The first time i noticed her was in an old article about her life at the time (then Director over Kulturhuset in Stockholm (it's an institute for society to acknowledge creativity, free for us). I remember being inspired by her, just by reading about her.
One thing remained with me. She has been married a few times and has kids with a few men. She has saved all of her last names, because she is proud of all areas of her life that she has been through. It's like an homage to all people that has ever entered her life.
I found that beautiful.
Yesterday i read an article in Expressen (www.expressen.se)where it was predicted she being the new Director over Dramaten. Peter Cornell was the writer.
Mr. Cornell had been working under Miss Ekman when she was a Principal over Konsthogskolan in Stockholm ( it Is The best art college in Sweden, it is Very hard to get in). He tells the reader that during that era, it was a difficult time in Sweden for the art schools. They were in a reformation process and we all know how those times can be.....BUT Miss Ekman Never forgot for a second that what Really Did matter was, the Students art work and their progress, this was the center for the whole school.
In particular this area she stood out as a shining example, always active as an artist, producer and writer (one wonders where she founds the time?).
A very peculiar creative environment developed. Students graduating having had her as a principal has done far better than those under other principals....
To be Precise, having Humour, To be able to be a free thinker and encourage others to be the same Plus to care about your coworkers. Are her Strengths.
I am Very Happy for Her and for Dramaten. A great Choice of a Human Being.
To you Miss Ekman: You are an Inspiration. Just by living your life the way you do. An example of someone to look up to.
Good Luck. From my heart.
