Jet (she/her) is a transmedial storyteller. Or, in more precise terms: a writer, director, narrative designer, and world builder.
She holds an MFA from New York University's Game Center and an MA in Classics and Ancient Civilizations from Leiden University. Inspired by the wealth of knowledge transmitted by the hundreds of generations of storytellers that came before us, her work combines the ancient with the new and transports audiences through time and space, using history, psychology, and play as tools for self-reflection and empowerment. She blends game-based interactive elements with traditional storytelling techniques to develop stories and new narrative forms for theatre and the screen.
Jet Vellinga is a lecturer in Games at the University of East London. Before that, she taught at NYU and Parsons School of Design. She's a dancer and aerial acrobat, and juggles roughly a gazillion projects at any given moment. She's currently available for freelance writing and production work.
Jet divides her time between London, The Hague, and New York.
