Marco Holmer is storyteller, drama-teacher and director.

He tells stories in theatres, schools, homes for the aged, community centres and libraries. A lot of his work takes place in the field of youth welfare work, and education. Marco tells his stories in Dutch, German and English. In his work, Marco is fascinated by the crossroad where storytelling, theatre and plastic arts meet each other. His stories arise from trivial events from everyday live, simple objects found in stores or at the flea markets, artwork, and of course a lot of imagination. Marco cooperates with artists from several art-disciplines: musicians, composers, actors, painters and sculptors.

Marco Holmer (1950) organises courses of lectures and workshops in storytelling for youth and adults. He is a teacher at the "Storytelling Academy" in Utrecht (NL) and the College of Fine Arts in Arnhem (NL).

Marco is one of the founders of the Storytelling Academy Utrecht and the Dutch storytelling foundation: "Stichting Vertellen". One of his concerns is the promotion of the art of storytelling.
