about me
My name is Lauratta. I graduated in 2015 as an actress from the Amsterdamse Toneelschool en Kleinkunst Academie. I have good text handling and can play both small and large. I like to play comedy, and I certainly have a feeling for it, but I'm not a comedian. I prefer to play drama.
I can sing well. I'm not that great at dancing, but I do have control over my body. I'm interested in anything I can gain experience with, but I'm especially interested in projects that aim to create art. I find it less important that there is (a lot of) money. It is important to me that I get along well with my colleagues: I am calm, professional and passionate. I also expect the same from the people I work with.

ask me for
Uitprobeersels van jonge (net afgestudeerde) filmmakers ben ik zeker voor te porren.
Alle korte en lange films.

Projecten met kinderen.
Projecten die als doel hebben kunst te maken.
Projecten met een maatschappelijke functie.

remarks
I really like to think along in a creative process. I am also an actress who can give a lot of my own input. By that I don't mean that I don't listen to what the director has to say, but that I am involved in what I am in. I always think for myself.
This sounds like an open door for an actress, but I'll say it anyway:
I have a wide spectrum of roles that I can play.
For example, I can look much younger than I am, but also be a very powerful, lived woman.
I am good with children.
I have good text handling and good comedic timing.
I don't like kitsch.
