Ance Muižniece

Until now my creative career, both as an actress and as a playwright, has largely developed in the field of children's and youth theatre, with a greater emphasis on young people. Most of all, I enjoy the performances that "hit" both the mind and the heart with their theme and actuality. If I can get intellectual irritation in the show, the opportunity to be surprised by the paradoxes, witty artistic solutions and feel a strong bound with what is happening, then I come out of the theatre as if after a proper workout for soul – ventilated, laughed, moved (or even weeping), full of thoughts, drained, but at the same time, emotionally and mentally fed. My method of writing is quite simple – I try to write plays that I would like to see today and which would have left an indelible impression on me if I had seen them when I was still a child or a young adult.
