WORKS ON LANGUAGE
Heroine
'Heroine' draws inspiration from language-as-manipulation
draft created at Artez-University of the Arts in 2017,
performance by Audrey Apers
The première of 'Heroine' is commissioned for 2021
Creating a Voice
'Creating a Voice' is a story-telling performance that aims at becoming present by addressing imbalances and inequalities in our immediate surroundings. It uses language in a combination of typing and a--meditative--practice of slowing down.
'Creating a Voice' created at Artez-University of the Arts, performed in Theater De Nieuwe Oost, 02/2019
Obsession
'Obsession' resulted from a creative trans-authorship writing by me and Silas Neumann. The method was build as a way of documenting daily routines. By drawing repetitive patterns on a paper, words that appeared strong enough broke through the pattern and where written in a set space.
