It started early when I went to my sister's drama school as a 4 year old. Where I stubbornly climbed on stage and joined them. Where the teacher invited me, now 5 years old, to become a member. At school I always chose the acting role, I participated in the musical 2x (final musical in group 7 and of course 8) and practiced every day with my sister. Acting had now become the leading role of my own life. I had a 2nd love next to it; Dancing. All round hip hop. I also did this from the age of 6.
Because I got further into that, the acting stopped for a while. But unfortunately I had to stop doing that too when I became seriously - terminally - ill in 2015. With a few hundred hospitalizations / 9x ICU and 52 operations & many more misery to my name.. These years were worth a trilogy in themselves. But I also see these years as a gift. Because of course it has shaped me into who I am and I now really dare to express my emotions completely freely. Wherever and with whoever I am. Not just real life. I really feel them to my very core with the acting. I feel & AM in that moment what I play. And that is really the most fun and amazing thing to do. :)

I have no problem with any roll. I also played drifter. That was my best piece (so far ;)).

I also have a great love for music (rock from the past + Muse) and speak fluent English (not like Mark Rutte). If necessary, I do so with British tongue. And I am a traveller. Just come back from 2 months solo through Europe. 41 places, 11 countries. I stayed in hostels, because that's where you meet your fellow travellers. Which makes traveling better. Because I am a social person and can easily start a conversation. My next trip will be in my self-built camper van. (Working on it now). I also write in my spare time and almost finished my driver's license. - Only for traveling, because in the Netherlands I have my bicycle and we have public transport.

This is where I wanted to end. But this is useful to know:
I have an ileostomy. It saved my life in 2015 and I'm fine with it if I have to come into the picture with this (in fact, break that stigma!)
Furthermore, you will not be hindered in any way by this, because neither will I; )
In addition, I am still partly in a wheelchair. However, I can take any walking / standing and cycling (extras / bit part) role without any problem. Because the reason for the wheelchair has nothing to do with my legs. (Did you know that 89% of people in wheelchairs can still walk). So are you looking for someone in a wheelchair? Then you definitely want my fixed-frame wheelchair instead of one of those granny chairs. But it's customization. So you get me ;)
Can't you really use me; But do you have a wheelchair user in your cast? I offer my knowledge and expertise on this. I have 22 years of wheelchair experience. Do wheelies with one hand, but really know everything about life in a wheelchair. It is important that most actors so far; who sat down in a chair for the first time; fell right through the basket. (Gtst/Undercover). This is not just me saying. But tens of thousands of people with me from this world. You can still act so well, but unfortunately this is nullified if you handle a wheelchair so badly. The picture, and with it the role, is no longer correct. - I'm here for you! Crash course rolling/holding and technique. Some adjustments in the seat. And the actor/actress can really be an actor/actress again.
(Here's my chair: https://www.facebook.com/tnsrijen/posts/vandaag-komen-wij-deze-mooie-proval-met-v-trak-rugrust-en-softwheel-ltd-wiel/4210267772360465/)

But of course I hope you have a figurative role for me. I'm here for you!
