ABOUT ME

Art historian in the middle of her thesis and theater-maker. Just ask me about german theater or street art and you're likely to get more than you ever wanted to know. I also sing... opera, experimental and some jazz. Basically I'm extroverted, love meeting new people and story telling at all hours of the night.
Give me a bottle of wine and some cheese and people who like to "shoot the shit" as they say, and I am happy.
