What she sees – About MC
My name is Marie-Christine but I have been called MC since I was a child. This is why you see my MC logo on every page.
What drives me in my work?
Inspire people to be open to different perspectives.
Over the past 25 years I have been active in the cultural sector. I started as a driver at De Vliegende Panters and worked for Niek Barendsen & Maaike Martens during the summers at the traveling theatre festival De Parade. My first professional production work began.

At the festival I learned to use my orgnisational talent more and I started working as a production manager for several companies such as the Ashton Brothers, Slåpstick and Het Nationale Theater (formerly Nationale Toneel) and many others.I finally worked in the Compagnietheater in Amsterdam where i was responsible for the Sales & Planning.
My love for photography arose at an early age. I always went about with my camera. I started serious photography when I got my first Nikon analog camera. I combine it with my digital camera and now also my phone is serving as a camera.
On my Photography page you see my first selection of photos I made for my website.
Photography and travelling go hand in hand in my life. I have been travelling a lot since I was young. I got this passion from my family and I continued doing it. There is a lot to see and experience. And my camera has always been with me.
In 2023 I felt space to focus more on my own creativity and dared to take the step and surprise those around me by realizing my long-cherished and well-kept dream. I held my first exhibition for a small group of friends and family which resulted in my website.

In 2024 I also got the oppportunity to make my own radio show at Dorpsradio.nl. Here you can listen to my radio show “Theater in het land”. This is so much fun to do. I love sharing my love for theatre.
Starting in 2025 I only do interviews, which can be listened to exclusively through my spotify channel MC What she sees.
note: It is mostly in Dutch.

My goal is to introduce my listeners to the many beautiful performances, festivals and projects that are being created.
I have now found the place where I can let creators, organizers and performers share their projects. I hope it inspires the listeners to visit culture and be inspired and that it provides them new insights.
SInce 2022 I have been taking a group of people to the theaters and share with them my passion for theater. A will start a new group soon. For more information please send me an E-mail Contact@whatshesees.nl
I enjoy the process of preparing the program, chosing a theme, inviting guests and preparing the questions, very much. It is very fullfilling.
