Dance Performance
@Benefit event for women
19. October, Saturday
18.15 - 18.35pm
BAK
Pauwstraat 13A, Utrecht
Free entry!
In recent years, I deeply explored themes of sensuality, sexuality, and desire. In my raw and powerful dance performance 'Embodied', I reveal my journey of loving, playing, and connecting with both myself and others. Through movement alone, I seek to empower others to follow their heart and intuition—encouraging bravery, respect, softness, and authenticity in their lives.
The performance is part of the benefit event by Rebella Pirata in collaboration with BAK (basis voor actuele kunst) in Utrecht.
The revenue of the event will be donated to support women's rights. For more information, please contact the crew of Rebella Pirata.
Expect good food, workshops and amazing DJs!

Would you like to slow down and be more creative?
The One Line Drawing Workshops are designed to help you explore your creativity by creating drawings with just one line.

Workshop for kids & parents
Wednesday 03.04.24
14.30 - 16 pm
Jofel, Zonneplein 11 Amsterdam
This drawing workshop I developed especially for kids. I invite the children to discover their creativity by making drawings with one line through fun and surprising exercises. This time it is gonna be extra special, since the parents are invited to join as well :)
To give you an idea about the program:
We make drawings with our eyes closed, open, with the strong and the off hand. I will make live music with my clarinet to let them draw and colour the tunes in a group and by themselves. This makes it not only an enriching creative activity, moreover it is an opportunity to make new friends :)
For who?
The workshop is for kids between 6-12 years and their parents, if they like to join. (Parents can simply by a regular ticket)
Language
This workshop will be held in Dutch.
Timing
Please be there 15min before start!

Drawing Session
27.03.23, 18.00pm
Our topic was to create an easy to build, cheap and attractive greenhouse for the community garden Coltivando in Milan. The aim was to make a DIY instruction, so that the gardeners could rebuild the boxes by themselves.
This project required that the material we used was easy to get and locally available, the building instructions as easy to understand as possible. In addition to a handbook we provided an online tutorial.
