My name is Karlijn. naam is Karlijn. I graduated in 2016 at the Theatre Academy in Tilburg. Since then I've been working as a director, drama teacher and actrice for multiple arts centres and amateur drama clubs in Noord-Brabant. |
In my time at the Academy I discovered that moving and dancing had and enormous influence on my mental health. Weirdly enough I could sometimes express myself better physically then with words. I noticed that the only moments that my mind was not busy thinking or trying to understand everything, was during the movement classes.
In my final year I decided to make a piece with dancers and actors. To close the gap between the two disicplines. After all, we all create from the same inner space. Only the way we express ourself is different. Kevin was one of the dancers who wanted to join me in my search for the connection between dance and theatre. The connection between us made us want to continue searching together. Breathing is for us the link between our disciplines. Breath is universal. Everyone 'speaks' breath. The search of how to play with it, to create from breathing, is very exciting and interesting to me! |
