Louise Linde

About

Louise Linde is a creative producer, communications strategist, theatre director, and photographer whose work spans performance, visual storytelling, and cultural communication.

Her work moves between theatre, image, and public-facing cultural work, with a particular interest in sacred music and the cultural expressions of faith, ritual, and place.

Raised within children’s theatre and eurythmy, she began singing at an early age. She later moved to the United Kingdom, where she had previously made her singing debut, and completed her degree in theatre directing.

From 2015 to 2025, she worked at Stockholm Cathedral Parish, where she held a central role across communication, production, photography, editorial development, and documentation within both the music department and the cathedral’s wider public-facing activities.

She is based in Porto, Portugal, where she develops independent work through theatre as method, alongside communication, cultural research, and emerging technologies. She is the founder of Oopsfield Studio, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), London, and serves as European Representative for Sacred Music Today.

Practice

With a background in theatre, singing, and photography, Louise Linde works across communication, artistic practice, and conceptual development. Informed by a sustained engagement with voice, body, and perception, her practice is driven by a long-standing interest in patterns and structures, tracing how different forms organise experience and shape perception.

Digital and AI-based tools form part of this method, supporting the development of conceptual structures through iteration, variation, and testing. They are used within the process as instruments for expansion, comparison, and refinement, under clear artistic and analytical direction. She also teaches and guides the use of AI tools within creative and communicative processes.

Current work includes the development of independent projects and brands shaped by embodied practice, symbolic thinking, and historical consciousness, brought into relation with contemporary questions and forms of expression. A parallel line of inquiry focuses on sensory experience, atmosphere, and material presence as ways of understanding how meaning is authored, structured, and held in place.

Communication and Cultural Work

From 2015 to 2025, Louise Linde worked at Stockholm Cathedral Parish as Marketing Coordinator and Communications Lead, with a central role in both the parish’s music life and its wider public-facing activity.

Her work spanned communication strategy, press, editorial development, internal communication, production, photography, film, documentation, publications, and audience-facing content within a church and cultural context. It included interviews, short films, audio guides, live streaming, and communication and documentation around the cathedral’s multi-year renovation through text, photography, and film.

During this period, Louise travelled extensively with the choirs from the music department across Europe and Asia, documenting and conducting interviews in Seoul, Berlin, Perugia, Barnsley, and Limerick, alongside research trips to Gdańsk, Copenhagen, and London.

She implemented ticketing systems for concerts, visitors, and bookings, and developed communication structures across the full audience journey, from first contact to arrival, attendance, and follow-up.

77+7 – The Cathedral Mystery

Louise Linde devised and wrote the children’s audio project 77+7 – The Cathedral Mystery, developed within Stockholm Cathedral. She was responsible for concept, script, post-production, and photography, shaping a pilot project exploring devising with a cast of girls through audio.
