Behind the Scenes of You: Acting for Self-Discovery

Van 87 € /h

Ever wonder what’s going on behind the scenes of you? This class uses the tools of acting — voice, movement, presence, and play — to help you explore who you are, how you show up, and how you connect with others.

Designed for amateurs and the curious-at-heart, this isn’t about performing for an audience — it’s about discovering new sides of yourself in a safe, creative space.

Through guided improvisations, character work, and reflection, you’ll build self-awareness, confidence, and communication skills that show up in real life — from relationships to leadership to simply feeling more grounded in who you are.

No experience needed. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Extra informatie

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in — no special gear or experience needed. Just bring a curious mindset, and the willingness to explore, reflect, and maybe laugh a little along the way. This is a safe, supportive space — perfect for anyone stepping into this for the first time.

Hi! My name is Vivianne. I have been living in Amsterdam for two years now and I do love this city! I'm originally Dutch and I have lived in several countries (different places in The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Peru). That feeling of entering a new city is amazing; all those new people, places and beautiful spots but it can also make you a bit insecure about your decisions. Did you choose the right studies or job? You moved for love but what's next? What about new friends? You're not alone, many people around you experience the same. Next to my own experiences, I work as Dutch teacher (Dutch as a second language) and therefore know how 'newcomers' experience their new life. I want to help people feeling happier and content with their decisions. I have a background in (international) marketing, languages and intercultural communication and due to this combination I have a depth intercultural understanding.

So, if you want to talk about...

- Your life in The Netherlands (e.g. studies, job)
- Your decisions (e.g. feelings, emotions regarding any subject)
- Your future plans (e.g. staying in The Netherlands, moving)

And want to feel...

- More confident in your studies / job
- Happier in your personal and social life
- More integrated in the Dutch culture

Without feeling a patient in need of an expensive psychologist/psychiatrist, feel free to contact me. We can have a short intake so you can tell me something about yourself and make a plan for further meetings.

If you're interested in Dutch lessons as well we could, of course, customize the sessions.

I love teaching students at all levels, whether you're a beginner or ready for Broadway. I emphasize healthy, safe and sustainable singing for all of my students. My four tent-poles are technique, acting, repertoire selection and audition preparation. I primarily teach using material from all eras of Musical Theater as well as standards from the American Songbook. I also use art songs occasionally to help students develop their skills.

As we improve your breath support, increase your range, develop your vocal strength and power, and explore the material that fits you best, we will discover your unique, authentic singing voice. Your singing voice should match the tone and color of your speaking voice, and the different registers of your voice should all sound like the same person. Rather than teaching you how to sing like your favorite performer, I am here to help you learn how to sing as the best possible version of yourself. And to help you learn how to do it safely and reliably.

Meet phytocannabinoid supplements
We discuss a number of things you may not have known about the safe use of the medicinal components of the cannabis plant.
When it comes to cannabis, THC and CBD are always in the spotlight. But this ancient plant contains hundreds of other medicinal substances. Many of these work together in unique ways, leading to endless benefits for the quality of our lives.
The hundreds of cannabinoids are severely underestimated, but have a lot to offer.
In this lesson we will delve into the human endogenous cannabinoid system.
