woerlpool

Woerlpool is an agency that establishes unusual theatre, dance and nouveau - cirque productions in Germany and Europe and helps them gain a foothold on the European market.

We support these groups in the planning of the tour, in the creation of a concept for the European performance and support companies in advance, during the tour and in the follow-up period.

 As  proven experts of the German and European festival market, we make suggestions for positioning and increasing publicity and reputation.

I have many years of experience as organiser and promoter of international Theatre – and Circus –  festivals.

For more than 12 years I was responsible for the theatre and performance program of the Tollwood Festival in Munich. During this time I presented numerous international groups, some of them for the first time in Europe and Germany. As a result, I have a large worldwide network and know many of the internationally important festivals and venues.

After my studies in theatre direction, I was engaged for many years as a director and dramaturg in Germany, Austria and Switzerland before taking over the program management of a Munich cultural center. I am a member of various theatre selection committees and panels and since 2008 a member of the European Circus and Street Theatre Network Circostrada.

In 2014, I was named “Chevalier des Arts et Lettres” (Knight of Arts and Literature) by the French Minister of Culture in recognition of my special efforts to promote French culture in Germany.

At the beginning of 2021, I founded the agency woerlpool to present extraordinary forms of theatre at European festivals and venues and to share my experience on sustainability in culture.
