Who are you as a teacher and creator?

Intuitive, critical, connecting

What inspires or fascinates you?

As a creator, I constantly balance my passion for discussing injustice and inequality in the world—this period, the focus was on femicide—with my wonder and love for the little things in life. A cup of tea with a loved one on the couch, or the sight of a leaf drifting in the wind.

What are your ambitions or desires for the future?

I want to create work that opens up conversations, that connects, that creates space for critical questioning, that poses those questions and that makes you reflect on the small beauties of life.

Tell us something about your research.

In my podcast, I'll take you on a journey into the history of immersive and interactive (theatre) art and how it manifests itself in the current professional field.
