Hey-ho, I'm Coco de Bruycker.

I'm an ordinary girl from Mainz, Germany, with a walking disability and an ordinary goal:
Changing the professional Acting Industry.


I'm accepted at the New York Film Academy to an 8-month Conservatory-year Acting for Film. It's incredibly intense Acting Studies hosted by brilliant teachers and well-connected film professionals at the New York Film Academy (NYFA) in New York City. The studies start in September 2017. Raising the tuition for those studies is my short-term goal, though.

Long-term I want to make the professional Acting Industry more accessible to disabled actors.

I think it's time.

People call the walking disability I have cerebral palsy. But it doesn't affect me at all. I can do anything: Walking, running, dancing, acting.  (The video gives you a "foretaste", hehe...) Anything goes!

I want to be a role model. As there are so many people - adults, youths, children - who hide behind their disability. I want to encourage them with my attitude and my story.

My attitude in short: Just do it.
Just forget that you're disabled for a bit and you'll be happier.


My story in short: Follow your heart.
After graduating High-School in 2016 I went to London, the Theatreland. Because I love Performing. And Acting is my passion. I had to follow my heart, do you know that feeling?
In London I also auditioned for the NYFA.

I've never dared to dream about reaching my goal: Becoming a professional actor. Because of my disability. But then I realised: The disability is the key. To change.

 

I've some believers at the NYFA. I've passed the audition. I've got the scholarship. I've got the key to the door already.

What I need now is the financial strength to open it eventually. And I truly believe: Anything goes! As anything walks, runs, dances and acts. ;)


My calculation is:

 

Tuition 32,570,-$
Discount -9,000,-$
 

Housing 17,450,-$
Living (food only) 3,200,-$
                                                  
Total 44,220,-$ 

Excluded: flights & visa fees
 

I've been saving almost 1 000 myself with 2 jobs.
