BORN: GRONINGEN, NETHERLANDS
Groningen used to be farmland, and now it’s a big international city. But the people are still really down to earth.
We’re known as hard workers. No bull. Just go, do it, two feet on the ground, and that’s it. I have those qualities.
I work in theater. I set goals. Sometimes I don’t know, of course. I realize that I’m not supposed to know. But I think one thing that is always underneath, always with me, is the determination, hard-working, no nonsense, no bull traits I have from Groningen.
I’m now in the Director’s Lab, in Lincoln Center, in New York. It’s an exploration program for directors. And I’m in the phase of exploring, of finding out, of not really knowing. The only thing I know is that I love to work in theater and I love to make things that touch other people. And that’s a very practical thing. It’s not some magical thing that’s up in the air. If I create something, and you have a reaction to it, than I’ve touched you. And that’s something I want to do by making theater.
