Photo by Elena ŠtrokHere’s a little overview of what I’m working on right now.
RITES OF PLAY (maker, performer)
Together with Nadia Bakhshi, I’m working on a durational loop to be performed inside the inflatable colorscape installation during the Synergy Art Festival at Flevopark in Amsterdam on July 25th. We’re exploring playground culture, clapping games and nursery rhymes.

GROND (co-writer, lyricist)
I’m also putting the finishing touches on Grond, a new musical by Nanoek that will premiere on October 17th at DeLaMar in Amsterdam. Previously, I’ve worked with Nanoek on Niet Antigone, Lokroep and De Nieuwe Lichting.

ONE A LOT (librettist, maker, performer)
I’m currently gathering information and mulling over themes and scenes in my head for the third part of my trilogy, One a Lot. After performing Two Across at multiple theatre festivals, the third part is finally happening in May 2026. The full trilogy of spoken operas will be performed in 2027.
BOOKISH (actress)
Something different but exciting: Bookish, a British crime drama television series, launches on July 16th on Alibi, which you can find on Sky 109 and Virgin 114.
