My love to acting or when dreams come true



How it began... 

the first time I performed on stage in front of the audience was in elementary school. We just had finished reading "Der dicke fette Pfannkuchen" (The big fat pancake) when we and our teacher decided to perform it on stage. Everybody was pretty nervous when it came to opening night. When I got on stage the nervousness disappeared within seconds. I felt sheltered and secured (today it's still the same). From that very moment on, for me being on stage was a place, where I could live my dreams.  

When time passed by

I developed an "artistic valve". I discovered new ways to express myself artistically. Writing short stories and poems inspired me for being on stage. 

regardless of various difficulties 

I made my dream to be an actor come true. I'm happy I got the chance to do it. Every dream can come true. You have to keep in mind what you want to achieve and if you get the chance just take it. 

I hope you'll have a lot of fun discovering my homepage. 
Yours

About me

jpg about me
Impossible… is nothing 

It's not possible. That's a thing you won't find in my vocabulary. You can make it, no matter what it is, as long as you really want to achieve it and of course you need to have a strong believe in yourself.

I know, what I'm talking about. When I was born the doctors just gave me a few weeks because I was a tiny preemie. Since then many weeks have passed by and I'm still here. You wonder why I made it. The reason is very simple. I wanted to live.
When I became older and my friends learned how to swim many people said: Don't waste your time, because of your handicap you won't learn it anyway. I have to admit I drank a lot of chlorine but I made it. You wonder why I made it. The reason is very simple. I wanted to swim.

When I was about to turn 18, I wanted to get my driver's license, like everybody else at this age. And again, there where some who said: Better learn driving automatics than manuals, it's easier because of your handicap you don't have to push the clutch. But I wanted to learn how to drive manuals. I wanted to be able to drive any car. Why should I limit my possibilities concerning driving cars? I needed to take some more lessons than my friends. But in the end I made it. You wonder why I made it. The reason is very simple. I wanted to drive manual as well as automatic cars.

Because of my love for acting, I decided to become an actor.

A short time before I achived my german High School diploma, I thought of what to do after finishing school. I decided to become an actor because I loved acting and being on stage. Within one year I went to 30 different acting schools in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and took part in their auditions. No matter if they were private or state-run.

Almost every time they told me I was very talented, but they said that there was no chance to offer me a place to study acting. The state-run schools said, they only can take those who are able to do the whole repertoire, which is demanded to be performed on stage. And because of my physical handicap I won't fit. They sent me to private schools. But those said they are too little to take care of my handicap I should try an audition at a state-run school.

Luckily I was in the right place at the right time. So after all I finally found a school which gave me the possibility to get started. You wonder why I made it. The reason is very simple. I wanted to make my dream come true.  

It's important to have dreams. They can lead you the way.

But don't dream your life, live your dream.
