I am a theatre maker, director, performer and clown. I create theatre for and with small and tall people and perform as theatre and contact clown.
Because I grew up in a deaf family my goal is to communicate between the hearing and the deaf world through art. Therefore, it is my aim to bring hearing and deaf people together, either as spectators or on stage.
With the Compagnie Augenmusik, I produce and direct theatre plays which connect hearing and deaf kids with aesthetic and theme orientated methods. Therefore, I focus on visual and body language.
As a theatre maker I accompany and support theatre groups of children, young people and adults. Within these projects my aim is to guide them to their own ideas and develop their own forms of expression. My work focuses particularly on physical expression, with elements from physical theatre and clowning playing a particularly important role.
I strive to treat people with respect and appreciation as equals. I trust in their expressiveness, their courage, and their intuition. Theatre shouldn’t show children and adults how to do something better, but rather how to experience the world and life with self-determination, a free spirit, and without fear.
