Sanderijn Helsen (°1977) graduated from acting school Studio Herman Teirlinck in 1999.

In De Studio Sanderijn creates and performs De Puberfluisteraar, a theatre concert for young people, inspired and coached by young people.
She is currently working on a musical performance about medieval teenager Joan of Arc, fueled by creative input from her contemporary peers. JEANNE (14+) will premiere in De Studio.
