HOME >   BIOGRAPHY   < IN DEUTSCH
1989-  My varied career, encompassing the most disparate fields, led me to recognise, that there was only one career path left for me: Acting! I started out by trying my own sketches in reviews and eventually learnt the craft of acting in my home town Cologne,Germany.
 
1990-  I proved that I could be funny, so next was Martha in Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, Mephisto in Goethe’sFaust and, Olga in Czechov’s Three Sisters. I also made my first experiences with TV.
 
1995-  A trip to India gave me an insight into Indian Classical Music. And so I decided to study that very topic in Nagpur, India at the P.K. Salve Academy of Music and Fine Arts.
 
1996-  In May I participated in the creation of the new international artist’s formation TEV (Theatre of Eternal Values). The first production, The Imaginary Invalid, was performed with great success for over two years and across seven countries.
 
1998-  In Vienna, Austria I discovered a new passion. Improv!!! After a few workshops with the UR-Theater and Keith Johnstone, the “father” of theatre sports and improvisation, I was hooked.
 
2000-  In the millennium I was the Third Boy in Mozart’s Magic Flute and also worked as assistant to the director. The opera had their opening night in Vienna and went on tour to New York City.
 
2001-  World famous Vienna Boys’ Choir asked me to stage The Magic Word. To date I have directed five tour productions for the Choir. In the same year I moved to Waterloo, Canada and enjoyed playing leading parts in Neil Simon’sGod’s Favourite, Snoopy and Christmas Story.
 
2002-  The new founded Canadian branch of TEV decided to produce Faust where I was once again the devil. The show had its opening night in New York State and went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2003 in Scotland. I was also glad to learn that my new home town has its own local comedy improv troupe Theatre on The Edge
 
2004-   Blah-Di-Dha Film Festival, Veni Vedi Whatever and the first KW Improv Festival kept me busy in both, acting and producing.
 
2007-  I directed my sixth tour production for the Vienna Boys’ Choir and joined the creation of TEV's latest production "William Blake’s Divine Humanity", which has been performed in London, UK. TEV Canada released its first Audio Theatre CD “The Light Princess” where I did the voice over for the princess.
 
2008 -  In the beginning of the year TEV Canada has a few live readings of "The Light Princess" in the greater Toronto area.
