Bob Koomen

Bob Koomen (1993) grew up in Hoorn, which he says went very well. He also got a lot of help. In nearby Zwaag he started his career as a bulb planter.

Then things went really fast. He became a lifeguard, translator, sunshade courier, catering employee and once he was grown up he went to Amsterdam to study movement sciences. He developed into an intern, volunteer and then researcher in rehabilitation.

He therefore knows the human body like the back of his hand, which can be very useful on stage, where without a body you don't really stand a chance. He found that stage at the end of 2018 with Toomler, where he is allowed to return to this day. He is very happy with this, because now all those thoughts that he never knew what to do with finally come into their own.
