Andrea ter Avest Dahm

I was born in Nigeria, from Dutch parents and studied film studies at Amsterdam University specializing in narration in African fiction film. During my MA in film studies I always acted on the site and was very pleased to study acting at Drama studio London.

I always liked the rehearsal period better than the performance, and in Denmark I worked with a passion developing plays at the Betty Nansen theatre from which the Hijab Monologues was the most successful. Now I want to combine my 3D theatre experience, African roots and film studies in this 3D feature on Susanne Wenger.
