Audience Takes The Stage (12th Birthday Edition)

Introducing our first speaker:

Mark Hinch is a creative technologist, connecting the physical and digital worlds by making objects and experiences that are richer and more considerate, not just more efficient and novel. The spaces we live, work and connect in continue to evolve, and as digital technology makes its way into more and more of our buildings and devices, the space of the future is certain to be connected in myriad ways. Focusing on the point at which technology and human experience meet, his goal is to have a positive impact on the ways we connect with our physical environments and the objects within them.

Introducing our second speaker:

Ana V. Martins is a cross-channel storyteller, a fancy way to say she tells stories across different mediums. Graduated from theatre school in another life, she now writes tales of personal transformation on her Substack - Ana Creates Meaning. But her favorite place for stories is still the stage. Ana’s roots are Portuguese, Amsterdam is her oyster.

Ana liked to think of herself as a creator of small joys and a facilitator of flow. That was until earlier this year, when she got a cancer diagnose for the second time in her life. She is now forced to confront the patterns she carries. In sickness and in health.

Introducing our third speaker:

Hayley Adams, originally from Bristol, United Kingdom, has called Amsterdam her creative home for nearly 10 years. Hayley has been a Nail Artist since 2019. Her style is abstract and colourful, taking inspiration from fashion and modern art. After starting a family in 2018, Hayley is re-emerging as an independent dance maker, performer and teacher. She creates contemporary dance works that educate, engage and challenge in (extra)ordinary ways.
