“Officially returned as a student two months ago, and then again to drama school”, writes Katja Retsin on social media with some photos of her in action. “Whether I’ve been freaking out in my head, or it feels more like a midlife crisis, I’ve mostly been following my heart and an old love, and haven’t regretted it for a second. On the contrary! Every week I take a day for myself and throw myself completely – sometimes literally – into the world of acting. Thanks to the various top players in the industry for this wonderful learning experience.” The hashtags reveal that Retsin is taking classes at the Dutch Actors School, which has branches in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Apeldoorn. Established values such as the Dutch actress Hailan Reijn (‘Red Light’) and our compatriot Eva van der Gucht (‘My Worst Best Friend’, ‘De Dokter Bea Show’) teach there.
Katja Retsin acted once before. She was seen in the 2000 film ‘Team Spirit’ and starred in ‘Het Gender De Pauw’ and ‘Willy’s and Marjetten’. In 2021 she was seen on stage in “Taxi Taxi!” of the Farcetheater.
