Wendel Spier

She was born in Java in 1975  from Indonesian, Chinese and French parents. As child she had her feet firmly on the ground and as therapy it was suggested that she start dancing.

Encouraged by her dancing instructor, she attended the Royal Conservatory in the Hague from the age of eleven.

Because her feet could not get used to the ballet shoes, she enrolled in an institute for jazz theatre, where, for her own social security, she followed teacher training.

But her heart was drawn to cross-over theatre – which acts as a synthesis between Oriental and Western art.
