I feel grateful to be part of this all-women artistic team and cast—building a world with new technologies, new approaches, and new possibilities. I'm really looking forward to sharing what we've created so far with a sold-out crowd, and I hope this beautiful collaboration continues.

18th May 14:00-16:00 workshop Play ____@NDSM TREEHOUSE
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about teaching—sharing my experiences, knowledge, and the joy of making music. That’s why I developed a new workshop: Play ____. I provide all the percussion instruments, and it’s an open invitation for anyone to come make music with me in a relaxed setting. No experience needed—just come, play, and enjoy.
I plan to host this workshop monthly to build a community where people can return, connect, and play again and again. I even dream of performing a concert together with this community one day.

24 May 11:00&12:30 Luna @ Bodø beat International Percussion Festival 2025
At the end of May, I’m heading to Bodø to perform Luna at my friend Sebastiaan Molenaar’s festival, Bodø Beat. We met at Conservatorium van Amsterdam. He organised the best parties back then.I’m so proud of Sebastiaan for organizing this festival for several years now—and I’m super grateful to be part of it this time. Except playing Luna, I’ll also give a workshop about how I create children’s shows and exchange ideas with local artists.

Also, I’m thrilled to visit the polar circle for the first time—with my drum! Yesterday, we weighed and packed everything I need for the trip… the drum was exactly 23 kilos!
