'Patience'

I’m beyond thrilled to be part of the UK drama Patience, created by the talented writer Matt Baker, directed by Maarten Moerkerke, and brought to life by Eagle Eye Drama! It was my very first UK drama role, and it was a moment to see my scene on Channel 4.
Huge congratulations to the phenomenal cast and crew for their incredible work. A heartfelt thank you to casting director Sien Josephine Teijssen for believing in me. It’s been an absolute pleasure!

Belgium Museum card

Our son has a wonderful surprise for us!
Stills from the new campaign for the Belgium Museum card.
In this TV spot, we show exactly how not to do it and take “awkward gifts” to the next level. Let’s say a massive Baroque painting that barely squeezes through the door might not be the ideal gift.

With a museum pass, you always give the right gift: unlimited access to 250+ museums, from exciting day trips to inspiring exhibitions. Every visit is its own unique experience.

Public information Campaign

I am so proud to be part of this important campaign.
Sexual, criminal, and labor exploitation. It happens everywhere, also in the Netherlands! Commissioned by the@gemeentetilburgin@sterkhuiswe are therefore producing an activating awareness campaign.
Impressively, we take you along in three icy reporting stories. With a gripping script, deep emotion, and sinister images, we sharpen the senses. What turns out? Your one 'little' call can save someone's life - but then you have to make it.
What do you choose? Do you stand there and watch, or do you save someone?

Facial Muscle Training

Studies show that doing facial muscle training can help people to perform more accurate facial expressions—and can even help them recognize the emotions behind other people’s facial expressions, too.

Mask and Meisner workshop

Seriously amazing Mask and Meisner workshop on Saturday with the phenomenal @gronyad teaching and Grace Chang-Byrne, @blackboyhill, and @_amandalyl taking part. This photo comes from the end of the workshop where we devised a piece called "The Hospitaal!", which was both incredibly moving and deeply hilarious.
