as the initiator and founder of the Amsterdam Paradiso
concert venue, as well as being well-known for his radio shows
and the publication of magazines such as Hitweek, Suck and
Aloha. Like George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Al Hansen and
Eric Andersen, Willem was an early force behind the Fluxus
movement. The theatre shows he produced with Annie Sprinkle
were simply breathtaking and nothing short of spectacular!
He now travels the world in his capacity of storyteller/
artiste extraordinaire and host of his ever-popular workshops.
Brinker Media recorded Willem's "Sagen Safaris", a special series
of multilingual guided tours of Holland .... and Los Angeles, all done
in an inimitable 'Willem way'. Also, Brinker Media (/Eric Van Den Brink)
composed and produced Willem's cult hit "Spiegelogie Rap".
Most recently Brinker Media produced Willem De Ridder's CD-series
of fairy tales, i.e. unabridged versions of traditional folk tales, as
well as his "Nederwalk" for the Lowlands Festival and his telling of
"Lena Lena", a series of animated cartoons (SORA Corporation, Japan)
based on Harriët van Reek's award winning book of the same name.
