Early adapter - first Mac's, first E-mails, first Internet, first I-Phones, first I-Pad's

German, started out working in puppetry, theatre workshops with streets kids and youth groups, was part of an Italian Street Theatre Company in Venice and Parma, worked with Heiner Muller, Robert Wilson and others. Got a Ph.D. in the Giessen School.

Like poetry, Kafka, James Hilllman and Grimm's Faiytales.

Working on a book and an app about the work of Robert Wilson.

Fascinated how to communicate experience and history - and what role the digital humanities will play in the future.

The idea of an archive, from the library in Alexandria to the Googles, Foucault's ODER OF THINGS, NSA, UBUWEB and the footprint of the archival map of our brain is of real interest to me.

Would like to learn more about contemporary practices how to present, organize and archive theatre and performance.
