Constructing /Deconstructingan actor and storyteller

01 / The gaze

Before I act,
I look and …

… try to forget everything. I am drawn to the gaze that says more than words. The moment that leaves me surprised and brings truth into my life. The instant when life, in all its facets, fills me with joy.

02 / The body

Before words, there is movement.

Dance and music were my first language. In the body, in that moment when doing brings us into contact with something beyond ourselves, the character comes alive — beyond my ego.

03 / The voice

A story begins in what is left unsaid.

Salzburg. Salt Lake City. Vienna. Berlin. Different places, languages and voices. Searching for my own tone, my own voice. For truth in the telling.

04 / The role

I do not become someone else.

I look for the point where the character and my own experience meet.

05 / The crack

Perfection tells us little.

I long for the moment when a facade begins to open. When the new can no longer be kept out. When I stop portraying someone – and come alive as a human being. In life as in the story.

06 / The encounter

Attention changes things.

For me, acting and a therapeutic approach begin in the same place: with presence, trust and truly listening.

07 / The person

Behind every role, a person waits.

Actor. Storyteller. Father. I write, lend my voice and guide people. And I remain a learner myself – searching for freedom in doing. Hoping to leave traces of beauty in the lives of others.
