Anne Willem creates multidisciplinary performances that bring together music, movement, theatre and visual arts. Her work explores how different artistic disciplines can interact and become part of a shared artistic experience.
Her artistic practice continues to evolve through new collaborations and formats. With her duo SPIIGELWND, she explores new ways of connecting music with other sensory experiences. Their performances can include participatory workshops and artistic encounters involving, for example, calligraphy, scent and other sensory elements. These experiences invite audiences to engage with music in unexpected ways.
