Koen Boesman

Koen Boesman (b. 1979) is a director, writer and drama teacher, and artistic director of BRODER theatre company, where alongside composer Peter Spaepen, he explores the boundaries between musicals, opera and musical theatre. He has directed shows for youth theatres and community projects, and teaches at the Maastricht Academy of Dramatic Arts. As well as writing plays of his own, Boesman adapts scripts by others, mainly for performance in musical theatre. They are always founded on a process of intensive research into the subject, co-creation with a multidisciplinary artistic team, and interrogation of the narrative power to be found at the interface between language and music.
