about me
HIDDENWAYS ACADEMY - HIDDENWAYS CASTING

Also working as a coach for RegieAct, learning trajectory for directors of the Dutch Directors Guild and VERS.

ask me for
Begeleiding / hulp in voorbereiding van films en series. Met name spelinhoudelijke adviezen. Denk hierbij aan hulp in het opzetten van een repetitieplan (ook en wellicht vooral als hier weinig tijd voor is!), verdieping van de personages en hun onderlinge verhoudingen.
