At the age of 10 I played Jesus and saw what kind of room was opening up, at 14 my ballet teacher said: You are a born dancer and thus expressed my most secret dreams. Since then I've been on a voyage of discovery.
Pantomime in Paris, qualified dancer and dance teacher at the Rotterdam Dance Academy, now Codarts.
My acting skills i developed in the Netherlands, France and Germany.
My first encounter with film was stunning in the truest sense of the word. With Peter Greenaway. My role was a crazy one.
During the long wait, I learned my colleagues to stand and fall and experience epileptic convulsions. We came to the set as a strong group. And I noticed that all the didactics and supervision lessons at the dance academy, against which I had so much resistance, had a point after all.
My own pieces, projects of all kinds, curiosity about other cultures and perspectives made me travel.
With 7 languages in my luggage, I landed back in Munich at the end of the last century. The director Franz Xaver Bogner cast me for the main cast of his series: The Kaiser von Schexing as Centa Spitzauer and the Bavarian soul looked mischievously out the window.
