I’m a storyteller. I tell stories through films, theater, performances. Through imagining, writing, directing or taking part in them.

​

I believe for life to continue, we need hope. And for hope, we need to be able to imagine the possibility of a different life, a different reality. I believe that is what storytelling is about. That is what art is about.

​

When it’s about acting, to me, it is about meticulously preparing for your part, then letting yourself free fall, trusting your director and colleagues on set. I don't only extremely enjoy performing a character in a production, but it also helps me believe in different narratives and futures being possible in this life.

​

Acting is about imagination and belief. As an actor you put all your instruments - your body, your voice, your memories, your emotions - to the use of the creation of a new reality. When it’s about coaching other actors, to me, it’s about accompanying a fellow actor in taking a new look at their instruments, accompanying them in a journey of revisiting a familiar geography with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective and making new discoveries.
