trackrecord
Actress in the Pro-Phaistos show Game Over.
Pro-Phaistos. is an educational theater company from Groningen. In the performances, social themes are exposed, such as bullying and alcohol consumption. Performances are played at schools and companies throughout the Netherlands.

After graduating, I wanted to share my expertise as a theater teacher. I did this by teaching English as a (theater) teacher at the 'Assemblies of God Primary School' in Kinoya in Fiji.
I have given lessons to students from group one who have reading and writing delays. I prepared the lessons entirely in my own way and independently. In addition to giving these English reading and writing lessons, I gave theater lessons to all children from group one (an average of 35 per group).
During the summer school, together with another Dutch volunteer, I translated the myth: 'The sacred turtles of Kadavu' into a short performance.
Bollywood dance group 'MASTI Arts & Dance group' wanted to put together an international group to perform with them at the national 'Hibiscus Festival'. I did not pass up this opportunity and was able to perform with this dance group twice.

Trainer 'Play your wise': Theater, drama and games for language development in primary school.
Speel je Wijs is a teaching method that bridges the gap between art and cognition. It has been developed for anyone who wants to actively and creatively support and stimulate children in their language and play development.
In drama lessons, one of the main goals is to increase vocabulary. You understand language better when you actually experience it. In addition, the lessons focus on cooperative learning and training social skills. Play is a safe training ground for reality.
