Personal Profile
I'm inspired by meaningful meetings and creating real change. With over 35 years of experience in drama, directing, and the gestalt method, I run my own business called CoAct.
In addition to directing and acting, I offer therapy, coaching, and organizational/leadership development.
In SPECT. scenkonst, I create performances using my method, ImproGestalt®, and experiment with different genres, techniques and new dramatic writing.
As an actor, I simulate conversations to train healthcare professionals in communicating with seriously ill patients.
