About

Jade (1993) is active as a performer, maker and teacher in the field of art and movement. Alternating between different activities but always returning back to dance and a curiosity for human interaction and communication.

She started her dance education at Fontys Academy of Arts (2010-2014) which flowed into studying the Fighting Monkey practice (2015-now). Over the last ten 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. This collaboration has shaped her as a performer and encouraged Jade to also manifest herself as a maker.

Currently Jade is creating her own artistry in which she aims to create accessible transformative spaces. She has fascination with cyclical work, where she invites people of all ages to participate and collaborate in research themes such as the origin of dance or the meaning of connection. These creations can result in interactive performances in the theatre, an open studio sharing or an outdoor installation.

Next to her journey as a young maker, Jade is active as a freelance performer and Inspire by FM instructor. Teaching at various dance universities, hosting group workshops and individual coaching sessions. As a teacher she wishes to collectively explore and learn about life through our sense of embodiment.
