About
Jade is active as a performer, maker and teacher in the field of art and movement. Shifting between various activities and projects but always returning back to dance and a curiosity for human interaction and communication.
Research based artist, always starting from a physical and creative approach of the body, where practice and play go hand in hand.
Born in the summer of 1993 in Tilburg (Netherlands). Jade started her dance education at Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten (2010-2014) which continued into studying the Fighting Monkey practice (2015-now). Over the last eight years she has been involved within the company The100Hands, as a performer and co-creator, focusing on interactive and site-specific creations for youth and adults. As a maker Jade carries out 24-hour DaybyDay projects, an initiative that hopes to create more room and opportunity for new local meetings through dance.
Currently Jade is active as an Inspire by FM instructor; guest teacher at various dance universities and movement contexts. In addition, she organizes group workshops and individual coaching sessions in which she aims to create environments to collectively explore different topics through embodiment.
Finds inspiration in nature, details in people’s faces, writing and good sweet music.
