Monique van Hinte / Nina Lawina

I am a worker in the field of Performing Arts (initiator, director, coach, performer, producer, designer) with a background in movement theatre and devised theatre. Projects are often context driven, and strive for trans-disciplinarity and trans-culturality; depending on the work, I collaborate with professionals and/or amateurs from different backgrounds and disciplines. I also currently teach at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands.

I am interested in the absurd that lies in the tragic and the beauty hidden in the banal. I attempt to approach the indefinable very precisely in the hope of touching people through that which we do not completely understand but can feel. Inevitability and necessity in the making is essential.

During her residency at Elsewhere, Van Hinte created Slow Dance.
