Theater
Voice acting
Working from my personal studio in the forest. Recording in Arabic, English and Dutch. Playing characters, activating imagination. Currently voicing an 80+ year old Palestinian woman named 'Al-Sit Mufida' - literally 'Mrs Useful.'

Myth-telling
From Al-Balad in Jordan to the Dream Institute in California to Ruigoord in Amsterdam.
Inspired by stories from mythology and the imaginal realms: from the dance of Isis, Artemis in Jerash, and Sheba's hairy legs to whatever the (d)jinn is in the mood for.

I really enjoyed creating audio content ... it's a lot of work, and I'm slowwwww... will I get into it or simply write and perform and do voice acting .... I'm leaning to the latter - for now.
