Myrthe graduated as a professional dancer at Fontys school for Fine and Performing Arts. During her studies she started a complementary physical research within the martial arts, through which she developed specific techniques, movement patterns, vocabulary and physical responsiveness, that she now integrates in her contemporary dance style. Besides growing further as a performer, Myrthe is also exploring different training methods, such as ‘free weight body work’. In the unpredictability of partnering and interactive work of The100Hands Myrthe has a multitude of chances to apply the combined knowledge in a variety of physical situations.

As a part of the close team of The100Hands dancers, Myrthe brings a sharp and strong physical quality to challenge many, together with an attentive listening and creative response to whatever is being worked on. The collaborative and sincere connections with her colleagues as well as with the audience is the source of her (work) drive.
