On June 29 you can enjoy performances in unique locations throughout the Netherlands. Can be in someone’s living room or garden, in a theater or at a historic location. With TaleSpinners we’ll be playing our festival-show Raw Stoked at the most beautiful playground the city of Zwolle has to offer: Speeltuin Assendorp.
With the TaleSpinners we will be playing our 30 minute festival gig Raw Stoked in the beautiful Dutch city of Gouda. Yes, that’s the city that gave the world the famous Gouda Cheese. Festival ‘Gouda Leeft’ is part of ‘De Goudse Popweek’. Saturday June 28 you will find us at:
So, we played our first festival-show and it was quite an experience. I really mean that: we learned a lot. We had lots of fun, it was very educational and very cool. Normally in theaters We normally play theaters, meaning that we more or less have the stage for our selves.
As from today – somewhere last week actually – we will be playing our performances under the artist name ‘TaleSpinners’. We tell stories by spinning a unicycle, so it makes total sense. We even have a website for TaleSpinners, so it’s getting serious.
Played STOKED! at Theater Joseph Wresinski Cultuur Stichting in my hometown of Zwolle (NL). Had been in bed for over a week with a harsh flue and thus had little rehearsal-time. Was quite anxious because of it, but it went reasonably well.
STOKED! in Zwolle (NL) 23/2. Admission is free and for Euro 5,50 you can share a (vegan) meal.
In Gouda we played three 30 minute shows introducing the full show of STOKED! All the unicycle-tricks and lots of singing was quite intensive. But it was great fun and I learned a lot. Especially during the third show that was full of audience-interaction.
On February 2 we will be performing STOKED! as part of Festival Gluren bij de Buren at De Bernhardhof in Gouda. At this accessible location we will be playing three 30-minute shows, all in English, free admission. Start-times: See you there!! More information via this link.
2024 was an awesome unicycle year. Learned a lot. Met incredible people. Did muni for the first time ever, at Laucc in Colombia of all place. What an experience that was! Had some great personal bests. High jump over bar at CFM in France: 60cm.
STOKED! Is a music-theatershow about Esther who has one passion: the unicycle. It’s non-biographical, with the exception of the unicycle-part. LOL. I play Esther, while professional actress Ksenia Marasanova plays other parts, like Esther’s mother and all kinds of people Esther encounters on the street.
For the new musical theater performance STOKED! we wrote everything ourselves. That includes the music and all the songs. And by “we” I’m talking about a broad team of creators: songwriters, composer, musicians, arranger, etc. It’s a super interesting process, which usually starts with lyrics.
My first truly English spoken and sung show about stuff every teenager deals with. STOKED! is a music theater show with a lot of circus and unicycling, and all original music. Duration is 60 minutes. I perform together with actress/singer Ksenia Marasanova who has played over 150 solo-shows during the past years alone.
