I was born in Germany and now live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a playwright, poet and Theatre-maker. My theatre company, ‘Backyard Theatre Ensemble (BYTE)’ presents diverse pieces of theatre all across Melbourne/Australia and internationally, touring annually with original theatre-pieces. I also run masterclasses and workshops nationally and internationally.

I have created various theatre projects online with the focus on LIVE performance.
