NAU is a celebration for eternity. This year, we mark the first orbit. How will we dance and sing our way into the distant future? Celebrations are time capsules for culture and customs, journeying through the past and into the future. Could they perhaps be among the most enduring things there are?
Conversation halts. Voices cease. Strikes break. The right to protest is curtailed. What else can we do but dance? For centuries, communities have formed around beats and pulses. We need celebrations. Can we flirt with the moss, get cozy with saplings? A budding festivity tradition sprouts like marram grass, sending regards to the centuries to follow. This isn’t the end, but from here, you can see it. Let’s dance. And let’s dance in a way that even the forest rangers can appreciate.

bachelor thesis: innovatief toneelbeeld
I finally managed to get my BFA thesis uploaded onto this website!
My goal was to show that natural light can expand the way we experience and think about theater today. Research investigated natural theater lighting ranging from ancient Greece to the early baroque period.
This led to the conclusion that theatrical productions that make use of natural sources of light lead to new theatrical experiences, by holding performances of the same production during different times of day: morning, afternoon, evening. So why put effort into recreating natural light when it is readily available in its true form?

I created this blog to give you an idea of the projects I am working on at the moment. I might share some work samples from time to time.
