Communication is a fascinating phenomenon that forms the core of who we are. Language forms an important aspect of communication, but even without spoken words, we could still communicate, for example through images, signs and videos. The year of 2020 challenged us particularly in connecting with each other without physical presence. Digital tools became more important than ever on the level of communication.
Since I started my business in 2020 I worked regularly as a language teacher, interpret and translator. I translate between Dutch, French and English and work for big companies as well as for (small) theatre and dance companies. The fact that I’m a dramaturge is a definite plus when working on the translation of artistic texts as I know well how to capture dramaturgical essence in words.
During the first confinement in France, in April 2020, I was challenged, as many other freelancers in the cultural sector, to find a new way of organizing my business. The empty theaters, the time spent at home, made me discover new passions: already enthousiastic about communication, I decided to dive into the depth by learning how to build my own website, how to use HTML, CSS, Javascript and how to combine this digital language with visual design.
