Barbara T’Jonck is a theatre maker with a background in philosophy. She is active in a broad spectrum (from performer to dramaturge, from writer to facilitator) and in various fields (from social-artistic work to documentary theatre, from smartphone choreography to opera). In her own work, several themes often recur: (fictional) collectivity, the dramaturgical meaning of a voice, and strategies that stage an activating or critical setting. Together with Martha Balthazar, Mats Vandroogenbroeck and Jana De Kockere, she makes documentary theatre about social bottlenecks and intersections today and works(ed) with Dan Mussett, Salomé Mooij, Berten Vanderbruggen, Donia Jourabchi, among others. In 2019, together with others, she founded the artist-run organisation Platform In De Maak, which is committed to the position of starting makers in the performing arts.
