Drama Bridge – Two Editions (2024–2025)

Amsterdam

Creator, facilitator, curator

A two-edition performance course for participants with diverse backgrounds and no prior stage experience.

The program focused on unlocking the body, voice, and creative expression through embodied theatre practices. It supported participants in developing presentation skills and discovering personal artistic language.

The course culminated in final presentations where participants created individual narratives and collective scenes developed under my artistic guidance.
