Wynn Heliczer

Born to a Jewish Polish-German father and a Dutch mother, Wynn was brought up in Amsterdam (NL). She speaks Dutch, English and quite some French, but, started acting in the Italian Opera, Cavalleria Rusticana / Il Pagliacci, at the age of 12. She then also started writing her own songs. After finishing junior drama school, she starred in the musical Alone in the world and studied at the Theatre Academy, Utrecht (NL). She received her Bachelor of Theatre, Acting in 2009. From then on she creates her own music-theatre performances and acted in several film- and TV productions, such as the short film No Vacancy (Michiel van Jaarsveld, 2012) and Think of Something Blue (Jerry de Mars, 2017). Wynn's most heartfelt project is The Missing Beat Project, a music-theatre trip based on her own experiences of her dad's life and work. Her father (Piero Heliczer) was a poet and movie-maker who worked closely with Andy Warhol and the Beat Poets, but wasn't much around in her life.
