Creative Projects
Judith is able to take a step back and let her body speak directly. In her dance, she communicates straight from the soul, giving expression to the naked truth of the moment. Moving past all fear, resistance, or shame, she allows life force energy to flow through her—challenging you to ignite the creative fire within yourself.

In the summer of 2024, it suddenly became crystal clear to me. I wanted to perform (again): to show myself as honestly as possible through dance and movement, and by doing so, to touch others and move them into action.
In September 2024, my first dance performance took place: Levensvuur (Fire of Life), at a special location surrounded by nature on the Verwolde Estate in Laren (Gld). This poem was featured on the announcement:
‘May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.’
John O’Donohue
Let this poem be a reminder to myself, and an encouragement to you, to no longer postpone your dreams and to do what truly brings you joy.
‘For me, the true value of movement lies within the interaction. The interaction between my body and the physical environment, between my energy and that of yours, between what is present and what is not, between the part and the whole.
Therefore, my starting point is always the connection with myself and the audience. Instead of creating distance, I will always try to create a sense of closeness. By showing my own humanity, you will become aware of yours — whether that feels painful and uncomfortable, or joyful and healing.’
