Luc de Raad
My name is Luc de Raad, I’m 27 years old and I’m a dancer that started dancing street styles like Hip Hop and House but who is also known with styles such as Contemporary. I like to combine different dance styles to create new ways and shapes of movement. My motivation to be a part of this new theatre creation mostly is because I really connect with the concept. It really spoke to me because I’ve always been very interested in spirituality and the road of trying to be the best version of yourself.

As a dancer I am now expanding myself in dance by training different styles and trying new things that have to do with dance. Don't have much experience in the art profession yet but I'm interested in it. Personally, I would like to watch and participate more in dance theater and that is one of the reasons I was interested in participating in the show. I found the theme that the show is about very interesting and fits the path I am currently walking as a dancer and person.

Now i am active in the workfield as an artist and I am excited and grateful to be a part of the show "SELF". Why I want to participate in this piece is because i think it is going to be a great Journey of revelation. For yourself and the people i will be working with.

Dylan Kuyper (Producer)
Locuchu is a producer, DJ, live artist and composer of electronic music based in the Netherlands. His music is a mix of heavy and calm sounds, built with strong rhythms that takes listeners on a journey, allowing them to explore the depths of their inner selves. Locuchu's music tells stories through a variety of electronic genres and he encourages his listeners to "dive deep into the infinite space of time."
I love music, music is my breath. The reason why I wanted to produce a song for the theater performance 'self' is because there was room to fully express myself as a producer/person. Few but clear guidelines that immediately fueled me for inspiration. They really asked me about my qualities. The creators of Self are deep thinkers and I immediately had the confidence that I could supplement that layer with my artistic knowledge of music. With this production I take you, the viewer, on a fraught journey that will make you move when you allow it.

Yanna, a 22-year-old artist based in the Netherlands, possesses a profound desire to convey narratives through her music. Her background in theater and classical piano forms the foundation of her creativity, which she masterfully translates into her own unique sounds and colors.

Her skilled touch on the piano keys serves as a guide, leading listeners on a captivating journey through her imaginative landscapes and the depths of her emotional experiences.
Marcel Kouwenhoven
(Live musician)
My name is Marcel, and I am a versatile multi-instrumentalist, creator, and performer. Currently, I am studying at the Conservatory in Utrecht, where I continue to develop and refine my musical skills.
My creative journey has led me to various interdisciplinary projects where I combine my love for music with other forms of art. I have created music for a fashion show, collaborated on an interactive art piece, contributed to podcasts and music, provided soundscapes for spoken word performances, and have been performing with my collective, Bovenste Knoopje Open, in theaters for several years. I enjoy working with people from different disciplines, as this often results in beautiful collaborations.
As a creator, I am inspired by the power of association, catharsis, and texture, and I am always looking for new ways to integrate these elements into my art.
I am looking forward to being a part of this exciting project and contributing creatively to the diverse world of art.
