I am from The Netherlands. I graduated there as a primary school teacher and 4 years later I also graduated as an actress and theater teacher. I traveled and worked all around the world and stayed in Canada to learn theater improvisation by the founder of theater sports, Keith Johnstone, 25 years ago. I still perform as an actress and I am the MC of various shows. I give theater lessons to children and adults, and I direct shows. I started teaching at LIS 10 years ago, where I teach German as additional language and a Drama Club. I like to build theater improvisation exercises into my language learning.
