DIRECTOR

As a director, Jelle is inspired by the concept of Bricolage. Le bricoleur is a savage mind who loves putting pre-existing things together in entirely new ways. Rough material - bits of text, music, paintings or objects - enter into a dialogue with the performers and stories take shape. 

Jelle likes to use improvisation exercises and observe how performers interact with each other and with the material. In his mind, the material is very much alive and part of the dialogue, functioning as another actor or performer on stage.
