Having been on tour with an actual circus! I was a photographer and clown! I've always had a thing for signs that say "out of bounds", "strictly no admittance" etc, as they have a magnetic effect on me, granting me access to special, sometimes dangerous but always interesting places, like e forbidden room at the palace of king Minos on Crete, the hull of a ship, coming into eye contact with a real lion, centre stage in the theatre etc. I was nearly robbed by an armed Chechenian terrorist in Krakow, but actually bluffed my way out!

- To teach: I can teacht to write for theatre, poetry, stories etc; Direct plays and street theatre; Concept and program cultural events & festivals; Organise events and exhibitions; Set up cultural excange programs. I'm a good improvisor, hands-on, not easily shocked. - Want to learn: Other languages; About other cultures; To play hurdy gurdy even better: All kinds, from electric hurdy gurdy (you didn't know that excisted, did you?), to grottaliran and synfonia); To play shawm; To be able to juggle; To make special effects for horrorfilms To create better staged photography Perhaps you like my blog aswell: www.blog.la-clappeye.nl

Apart from wonderful stories and nice company? I'm a skilled concepter and imagineer, aswell as a director. I can give advice and coaching on new concepts or services. Give English conversation lessons, work towards a presentation. Or just be me... for you ;) I'm a fairly good cook but love to eat out aswell.

culture, hurdy gurdy, music, theatre, festivals, events, restaurants, the unknown, poetic chance encounters. The latter makes me naive sometimes, but it encourages synchronicity, in which I am a great believer.
