I am PhD-researcher at the University of Amsterdam & University of Antwerp, affiliated with the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. My research explores how to study embodied knowledge in human-computer relationships at the intersection of artistic and academic research, to develop alternative paradigms for health and well-being. I work with artists, performers, musicians and dancers with diverse abilities.
I learn the craft of classical (opera) singing from Annelies Prins, integrative dance from Yolanda van der Heijden at DanceAble, and sewing techniques & pattern making from Dutch-Flemish Denise Beeckmans .
