This relatively young organization focuses on the connection between language, multilingualism (the province of Friesland has its own Frisian language, next to Dutch), literature and performing arts. The organization connects local artists and themes with (inter)national artists and invites guests to come over and reside in Leeuwarden in the wonderful venue the Westerkerk. An old church. In November the festival uses the city as a canvas for all kinds of (experimental) performances in many disciplines and genres. Before this Mark has been working at the Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival Groningen for over 10 years. Additionally he is also the coordinator and spokesperson for a national alliance of over 60 performing arts festivals.
