MANAGEMENT
Concept
I work closely with directors, costume designers, producers and actors/singers/dancers to conceptualize and define the desired look for each character.
My team and I need to be able to apply different make-up and hair techniques on this basis to achieve the desired look.
Organization
I am responsible for the budget and personnel management of the make-up team.
I ensure that resources and budgets are used effectively and monitor the quality and working hours of the team.
I also ensure compliance with the safety and hygiene regulations for the use of make-up artist products.
Personnel
Make-up artists and actors have to harmonize well with each other personally. The right composition of the team inspires the preparation and application of make-up and hair.
Craft
MASK DESIGN
From the artistic concept to the final realization, I create masks and mask parts that are perfectly tailored to the respective requirements.
Hair & make-up
I design and realize make-up and hairstyles that emphasize the personality and features of the character and have the best possible effect, especially on stage.
Wig Design
I design and create perfectly coordinated wigs and hairpieces using my extensive knowledge of styles and styles.
Behind the scenes of the Ruhr Triennale
Background Information on the 2009-2011 Season
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.
