about me
Hi,

I am Lena Ayugi Kwakman, 21 years old and I study Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology at Leiden University.
I am very interested in doing something with acting. I have had a love for acting since I was young, and have therefore participated in every school musical/school play, and acted in very small film projects of friends. My circumstances just didn't allow me to do more with it.
I miss it quite a bit and would like to pick it up again.

My hobbies are singing, dancing and photography. I have often sung in front of an audience and also sung in a band. Dance is at a very amateurish level, but I am certainly not a wooden claas.
As you can see from my name, I partly have a different origin; I am half Dutch and half Ugandan. However, Dutch is my native language and I speak ABN.

trackrecord
As I mentioned in my introduction, the projects I've done are far from professional. I've been in the school musicals: The Wiz and Chicago, and the school play: The Visit of the Old Lady. With these pieces we were also intensively coached in the field of acting.
I also played in two small film projects of friends of mine, 1 was about women in the Netherlands with a foreign background, the other was about alcoholism.
Although I have little experience, I have always received many compliments on my acting skills.

awards
I won best singing in 2013 at my school's open stage.
