Poetry Jockeys, natural born storytellers - creating stories together!

A little about us.

In the late 90s, childhood friends Rob and Martijn felt a strong urge for more interaction in the Amsterdam dance scene. 
Searching for words on the dancefloor and connecting people with on-the-spot handwritten poetry became their mission.

Their maiden voyage left a lasting impression and word spread.
Clubs around Europe, festivals and companies in need of interactive performances became aware of their mission.

PJs have a background in professional dancing, acting, singing, art direction, management and events production. We also have a widespread International network of collaborators.

Our services.

Our mission is to create memorable moments of authentic interaction. We do this through

'Die middag is er wel iets gebeurd waarover je nog steeds in de kranten kunt lezen. Er loopt een directe lijn van die middag naar een wetswijziging een jaar later waarmee ziekenhuizen zelf verantwoordelijk zijn geworden voor hun vastgoed. Met zegenrijke en soms ernstige gevolgen. De allereerste stap, poëtisch ingelijst, werd die middag in Amersfoort gezet en daar denk ik nog vaak aan terug.'
