Bio
I consider it my creative challenge to combine computer techniques with theatre in such a way that they compliment each other. In this work I'm fascinated by revealing the (magnificent) unknown. With this I mean that I want to draw attention to something relatively unknown, but exciting at the same time. I often get excited by things that will change my way of thinking about things.
Performing
After secondary school I studied theatre at Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU). There I came into contact with who I consider to be very important teachers. I'm still learning a traditional martial-art (from Indonesia) called Pencak Silat from Charles Renoult and I'm improving my singing with Alan Razzak.
On this course I developed another way of acting, namely the enactment of a computer system. Some of these systems have a big impact on our being and that's why I would like to reveal their inner working which are unknown to most.
Programming
I started programming in Pascal when I was 13. Since then I've taken on a few languages, but I mainly work in PHP and Lingo (for Adobe Director). I create projectors to be used during theatre performances and build websites. Currently I'm interested to improve the CMS that even my mother can use and I would like to startup a bigger project where people can share extraordinary life experiences online.
