Guest Speakers:
Robbert Van Heuven
Long before Robbert started working with the Noord Nederlands Toneel, he wrote up programs and interviews for years for the Nooderzon festival in Groningen. After his bachelor’s degree in theatre and cultural studies, it was expected that Robbert would write about theatre. He also worked for periods of time as a culture and theatre journalist, for, among others, Dagblad Trouw and Theatermaker. The fact that Robbert now works as a dramaturg seems logical to him. In his own words: “cultural journalism and dramaturgy, criticism and reflection, are very close to each other.” As a freelance dramaturg he works, for instance, for Urban Myth, Wunderbaum, and the Amsterdam Fringe Festival. As the in-house dramaturg for NNT, Robbert van Heuven is responsible for curating, planning, and guiding the productions which are developed within the theatre company.

In 2020 EMM will work on a new strategy focusing on three main strands: performances, research/innovation and education.
