Therapeutical Storytelling

Oct. 10. - Oct. 12, 2025

I want to develop STORYTELLING as my central artistic element. That’s why I invited the brilliant Charles Naceur Aceval, whom I was able to listen to and get to know at this festival, to give a workshop in 2026.

www.education-innovation-lab.de

I am proud of this cooperation.

In the summer of 2025 the Digital Innovation Lab planned a Spark on the topic of democracy.

The aim was to convey basic ideas of democracy and to make democratic principles tangible.

The platform prepares complex topics for teachers and facilitators for child- and youth-work in such a way that everyone can work with them immediately.

They asked me to be a sparring partner in the clarification of terms and in the didactic preparation.

In particular, they wanted to learn from our dialogue theatre .

I think the result is great.

Content and exercises are first-class and prepared for children and young people. There is an alternation between self-employment and group work.

Everything can be done in a self-explanatory playful way and has the potential to get young people excited about democracy.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Sonnenhaus bookstore in Berlin Mitte, we read aloud what guests have brought with us and talk about why this text is biographically important for the person concerned.

Since I represent a friendly humor of joie de vivre – see my solo programs as THE CULTURAL THERAPIST – I am very much looking forward to moderating this event.

Network Meeting DGAIT

German Society for Applied Improvisation in Therapy

– Network Meetings-

Our Society for Applied Improvisation in Therapy is growing rapidly. The network meetings are a wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas, educate together and get new tools.

On the occasion of this year’s network meeting in Heidelberg, I gave a workshop on my method kit, which I use when it comes to bringing participants of my courses at a psychosomatic day clinic who do not feel their impulses into contact with themselves.

Voice Workshop

Feb 27 - March 20

Chant Corse – Voice workshop with the Corsican singer Xinarca

This fascinating vocal workshop was about the sound of traditional polyphonic Corsican songs – the Paghielle.

The special feature of this workshop lies in the search for the intrinsic power of one’s own voice: the special path of this search, the emergence of a spatiality through voice and music and the experience of music, unique in Europe – which is deeply linked to the experience of working with the soil and animals, with the spirituality of the Corsican shepherds.
Carried by the group, each voice experiences a strengthening of its own tone.

Highly intense, unexpected sound spaces and deep inner experiences open up.

Concert with XINARCA

March 2, 2025

CANTU é CETERA Corsican song and traditional citters – Concert with XINARCA

Corsica fascinates. With their own language and unique music. For centuries, early Christian music tradition has mixed with Italian, Spanish and French influences and, since the 1960s, with those of pop music. The Phiagelle, the traditional songs, breathe a deep connection with the land, people, animals and mountains. Xinarca conveys this feeling in his concerts with a fascinating voice. In stories and descriptions, he makes the spirituality of the farmers tangible. Xinarca plays the world’s only surviving historical Corsican cister.

Happy new year 2025!

Improv courses

In 2025, I will finally find time again to give a 10-week workshop at the European Theatre Institute as part of the GORILLAS Improv School and to give topic impulses in a number of other workshops.

To all those who are justifiably concerned about the future, I would like to say:

“So do not be anxious about tomorrow. Because tomorrow will take care of itself.” (Matthew 6:34)

In this sense:

Let’s enjoy every beautiful day in 2025!

The best day? TODAY.

Heartily

Dialogue Theatre on the Day of German Unity

October 3, 2024

October 3 is a special day. Particularly in view of the threat to our democracy, we feel the need to promote democratic exchange with our dialogue formats.

We want to contribute to an understanding that enduring diversity is an essential core of democracy.

For this reason, we as a society stage have  developed our own dialogue theatre format for 3 October, which will premiere at Berlin’s Ratibor Theater.

Colaborations and partnerships

As of 2022 I continue to collaborate and partner with various consulting firms and agencies.

I am grateful for their continued trust in me.

Therapie begleitendes Improvisationstheater

In 2022 one of my focal points involves developing courses in therapeutic improvisational theater. People in benefit greatly from playfully experiencing way their ability to shape and influence situations. In fact, I myself learn something new in every unit. So far, there are only a handful of people in Germany who use improvisational theater in a therapeutic setting. The development of a sustainable canon of methods is still in its infancy. I am very excited to be among those doing this pioneering work.

Virtuelles Teambuilding

Teamwork has largely moved online since the coronavirus pandemic. Many companies find it challenging to foster and preserve team spirit among co-workers who no longer meet in the same physical space.

That’s why our business theater troupe DIE KOENIGS is focusing on virtual team-building in 2022, using a mixture of improvisation tools, team coaching and systematic clarification.

After several years of touring Germany and learning new ways of employing improvisational theater to promote civic dialog and democratic debate, I launched a new project in January 2022 to establish a permanent venue in Berlin.

In 2022 I’ll be making guest appearances with the following theater companies:
Die Gorillas, Berlin
Steife Brise, Hamburg
Theatersport, Berlin
