about me
My name is Astrid Claessen and after a far too theoretical bachelor's degree in film, TV and theatre, I now want to focus entirely on the practice of acting, instead of practicing this alongside my education. For this reason I started the evening course film and television acting at Lucidare last September. You can find my other experience below.

remarks
In addition to my considerable talent and unbridled drive to become a full-time actress, I have experience in the theory and practice of filmmaking, not just acting in it. I know a lot about the process of making a film from script to screening and I am convinced that my knowledge about film characters in themselves and in relation to the story makes me a better actress, and also easier to work with. I have insight into different camera angles, film/acting styles and genres that facilitate and give more depth to the acting process,
