We received a multi year grant from
AFK
for our interdisciplinary art education programs for young children. For the period 2019-2020 we continue developing multidisciplinary and performative methods that focus on play and embodied, sensory forms of knowledge exchange between young children and artists. And we work on a publication.

Museum Bommel van Dam / Circular Art Lab Limburg
Together with pig farmers we will explore the landscape of the pig farm with the nose and the body, with a focus on smell, in order to explore our relation with nature.
In 2017 and 2018, I will guide an educational art performance project for young children indicated with a speech-language deficit at 60 pre-school groups in Amsterdam Zuidoost, together with
welfare foundation Swazoom
and a collective of performance artists that visit the children frequently. Each performance offers a framework in which children are given the opportunity to play and to acquire sensory experiences with different forms of movement, sound, materials, objects and light.
Fall 2017, I guided a series of performative workshops about the perception of colour, at
De School.
Visitors of Amsterdam Dance Event are guided through exercises that intensify the perception of colour. By covering the eyes and with a focus on embodied and multi-sensory ways of looking, we concentrated on seeing an after image. Participants were asked to translate this after image in words and gestures. This performative workshop was guided by me and two girls with vision impairment.
