about me
I had my drama training in Kampen and Zwolle (HvdK Constantijn Huygens, now ArtEZ) 1995-1998. Before that, I already worked as a drama teacher in secondary education (40 years of experience). Since then I have worked for a long time with groups of amateurs, including the theater association Bilderdijk in Markelo and Mooi Geweest in Zutphen. In addition, I occasionally give game courses to doctors, teachers and marriage officials. Since my retirement from teaching, I try to play as much as possible myself, for example in performances and corporate films. At the moment (summer and autumn 2023) I play the role of Martini in a production of One flew over the cuckoo's nest at the Weertheater in Zutphen.
In addition to my work as a drama teacher and director, I am a literary translator (including Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt and PG Wodehouse)

remarks
I have also worked as a voice actor (for children's books by Jan Jutte) and have a podcast, Modern Dutch, in which I read stories by PG Wodehouse every week.
