I work closely with directors, costume designers, producers, and actors/singers/dancers to conceptualize and define the desired look for each character.
Based on this, my team and I must be able to apply various makeup and hair techniques to achieve the desired look.
I handle the budget and personnel management of the makeup artist team.
In doing so, I ensure that resources and budget are used effectively and I monitor the team’s quality and working hours.
Additionally, I ensure compliance with safety regulations and hygiene standards for the use of makeup products.
Makeup artists and performers must have good personal chemistry. The right team composition enhances the preparation and application of makeup and hair.
From the artistic concept to the final implementation, I create masks and prosthetic pieces, perfectly tailored to the respective requirements.
I design and create makeup and hairstyle designs that emphasize the character’s personality and features and achieve the best possible effect, especially on stage.
With extensive knowledge of styles and implementation methods, I design and create perfectly matched wigs and hairpieces.
The Ruhr Triennale follows its commitment to continuous renewal by choosing music theater director Willy Decker as the third artistic director from 2009-2011.
The self-professed Buddhist is the first festival director to also present his own productions. As if handwritten, the word Primal Moments and a logo painted as if by a Zen master appear at the Ruhr Triennale. Decker prefaces each of the three years with a word: Departure – Journey – Arrival. Departure reflects on Judaism, the Journey on Islam, and Arrival on Buddhism.
In the spirituality-accompanied years 2009-2011, much appears distant and unfamiliar: dervishes, rituals and ceremonies, the mysticism of the Sufis. Willy Decker succeeds in the departure at the start of the 2009 festival with his production of Arnold Schönberg’s Moses and Aaron in the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum, featuring Chorwerk Ruhr and the Bochum Symphony Orchestra. The story of suffering of the Jew Job based on Josef Roth is certainly one of director Johan Simons’ most beautiful productions.
In Third Generation, ten young performers from Germany, Israel, and Palestine address their origins. Yael Ronen directs them sparingly and directly. Jordi Savall creates a special concert for the Ruhr Triennale with Jewish and Palestinian musicians and texts about the dramatic history of a unique city: Jerusalem. The City of Two Peaces. In the Maschinenhalle Zweckel Gladbeck, Sing for Me, Death – a ritual for the composer Claude Vivier can be experienced. Vivier’s life and work revolved around loneliness, fear, and the search for love. A fictitious land in the far distance, far from any time – that is Autland.
In this music theater piece, Johannes Ockeghem’s canon for 36 voices from the 15th century meets contemporary music by Sergei Newski. From order to chaos to sensory overload.

“Paul Nobody, too old for a new beginning, too young to give up already, in a few years it will all be over.”
Under Ice, Scene 1
Paul Nobody and his colleagues are consultants. They speak the specific language of the consultants, they fire people, they promise solutions for every problem and guarantee a smooth process.
»I am getting more and more incomprehensible how I could have done something like that! “Here I have exceeded everything that lies within the realm of possibilities,” Richard Wagner states after completing his opus metaphysicum in 1859. Indeed, his adaptation of the ancient Celtic saga deals exclusively and radically with love and death. From the very first moment, the love of Tristan and Isolde is death-seeking, celebrating the absence of life and world as a prerequisite for happiness in their night of love: “Grant me oblivion that I might live … release me from the world.”
“What could a god be to us whom we understand, of whom we can make an image, whom we can influence? We are an old people. Not everyone can yet fully grasp our concept of God; to accept that all events depend on a supreme being whose laws we feel and recognize, but whose meaning we must not question.” / Arnold Schönberg
“Love between two is not perfect as long as one, when speaking of the other, says:” I “…” / Sufi wisdom
“When I say” I “, I don’t mean myself as you see me, but the love that speaks through me.” / Layla and Majnun, Albert Ostermaier
Layla and Majnun, the most famous couple in Islamic culture, tells of a love of deepest spirituality. The Persian poet Nizami wrote her story in 1188 and thus created a timeless love epic.
An old work as a new creation for the youth and with the youth. A bridge between Italy, the land of longing, to which we owe opera culture, and the Ruhr area, which is decried as gray and uncomfortable, but has long since developed into an exciting cultural center. With his latest music theater work Gisela! or: The Remarkable and Memorable Paths of Happiness, Hans Werner Henze attempts to connect extreme poles and enable seemingly impossible combinations.
The comedy about the village judge Adam, who in the unsuccessful attempt to seduce the maid Eve is forced to become a judge of himself, is also the story of the broken law.
