Anton van der Sluis is a graduate from the Mime School in Amsterdam, was a professional swimmer in his teens, and has a love for languages, animals, and video games. He needs movement to think and feel, and he loves exploring the (im)possibilities of his body.

Anton works as a physically oriented, creating performer for various theatre and dance pieces. In his work, Anton tries to trigger the physical empathy of the audience and the ‘homo ludens’ (playing/playful man) we all have inside of us. By playfully connecting to the mindful body and going through physical transformations and imagery, Anton invites the audience to rediscover their own body consciousness and imagination.

Theatre and dance are, for Anton, ways to step out of the automatic pilot and create a space for play and wonder.

In addition to his work as a performer, Anton also works as a content manager, helping companies find the right tone of voice. He values the feelings associated with words and collaborates with clients to discover the appropriate form and phrasing. His studies in English are a valuable asset in this process.

Anton is always balancing between the physical and the sensitive, as well as the rational and the verbal. There is an entire playing field in the spaces in between.
