Roos Pollmann

(Amsterdam, 1988) calls herself a ‘multimedial storyteller’. She likes to do a lot of things at the same time, like writing, acting in films and in the theatre, play the ukelele as awell as writing Dutch country music. Two columns of hers in Dorst (VPRO tv guide) caused Nijgh & van Ditmar publishers to ask her to write a novel. In the book, to be published early 2014, she deals with themes which often occur in her theatre work and in her columns: she is amazed about the world and sketches the struggle to grow up, sexuality often playing an important role. Pollmann acted in various theatre performances with among others Theatergroep Thomas. During the Amsterdam Fringe Festival 2013 she did the main character role in the living-room performance of Bezoek, about a young woman seeking a confrontation with herself.
