About me
I am a theater director with a master's degree in theater, a certified art therapist, and a trained nature and forest educator. I have worked internationally in theater therapy for many years and have used art education and craft methods in almost all of my projects with children, adolescents, and adults.
My artistic and political work was and is closely linked to my commitment to the rights of women, children, animals and the environment – a commitment that ultimately led me into exile.
Two sides of my life
My life has always had two parallel yet interwoven dimensions:
The first is loud, clear, and painful—a voice of resistance against injustice, discrimination, sexism, and the violation of human and animal rights. In my 46 years of life, I have experienced and observed many of these forms of oppression. I have never silently accepted them, but have repeatedly exposed, criticized, denounced, and fought them—through theater, art, media, and direct social work.
The other side of my life is full of color, movement, and joy. It's the part that creates, designs, experiments, and celebrates with complete dedication—the beauty, the diversity, the imagination. Because without creative expression, I can neither channel my inner restlessness nor express my deep joy of life.
When I work with children—whether in schools, projects, or workshops—I spend hours playing with words, colors, fabrics, patterns, dolls, stuffed animals, and stories. I fill the space around me with colors, shapes, and beings, and in doing so, I make life livable, bearable, and beautiful.
From resistance to creativity
During my many years as a presenter of political radio and television programs, I needed a place of retreat at the end of each day—an inner space where I could rediscover my strength. I found this in my small workshop, where I created things with my hands: objects, figures, games, materials. These works later became a bridge—a work that I continued with children, young people, and women in schools, women's centers, and social institutions.
What you see today on this website is the result of all these years – experience, experiencing, research, design.
What does this website offer?
This website is more than an online shop. It's an invitation to participate in an artistic and educational experience that has grown from deep conviction and many years of practice.
The art education packages offered here were designed by me and implemented together with a group of dedicated women from our women's network. Many of these women have challenging life stories of their own – their creative work not only creates lovingly crafted materials, but also opens up new perspectives and sources of income for them.
All packages are based on approaches from art therapy and play therapy and have been tested and developed over many years in practical work with children, adolescents and adults.
Our offers are aimed at:
-
Educators in kindergartens
-
Educators in the open all-day school (OGS)
-
Teachers and art educators
-
Social educators and therapists
-
Parents and creative families
The packages invite you to create, play, discover and grow together – with imagination, joy and connection.
Because we believe: Despite all differences in language, culture or religion – we share common roots, the same planet and the same longing for meaning, connection and expression
