Courses and research into Fine Arts Education
As an arts educator I develop courses and programs to provide time, space and ideas for students to explore themselves and their ideas. My teaching practice ties in close with my artistic practice, making for a strong vision on what arts education should be; challenging, fun, critical and mildly chaotic! My personal research into the field of education focuses on democratic and inclusive pedagogy through studies in social, academic and educational contexts. This is fed by a growing interest in participatory arts practices and current developments around such themes.
Currently I have developed the following courses for fine arts undergraduate students in Groningen, and I aim to expand my ideas towards a broader range of education and do more interdisciplinary collaborations. If you have questions or ideas, feel free to contact me.

PressPlay - Performance artPressPlay is aimed at bringing students face to face with themselves in a performance art crash course. With their own body for material, students get to know what it means to perform and how they would like to use this artistic language for their own creative practice. Leaving art historical conventions at the door, we fast-forward into experimentation and critical reflection, working towards the interest of the student and his/her grand performative finale. Featured at Minerva Art Academy in 2015 and 2016.

Burning Questions Crisis CenterThe Burning Questions Crisis Center: for things that keep you up at night focuses on the idea of crisis. Everyone's got burning questions, be it big or small, personal or for the good of all. We use a process-oriented approach whereby students have to undergo their own scrutiny and use their burning questions to develop new work that visualizes the matter at hand. This course is an collaboration between Michiel Westbeek and myself, featured at Minerva Art Academy in 2017.
