Daniel Kunze

Graduation year 2017

Daniel Kunze, born in 1988 in Linz, was three-years-old when he played his first role in a children's theatre, without being aware that acting would not be his destiny.

A longed-for and promising football career was prematurely cut short at the age of 16 due to an injury. He then played guitar in a funk rock band and more roles in the school theatre. After obtaining his Higher School certificate and two semesters studying journalism in Vienna, he nevertheless started to train as an actor under Heribert Sasse at the Theater in der Josefstadt, also in Vienna.

There then followed theatre engagements and the production of several short films. The transition to directing ensued in 2013 when he enroled at the Folkwang University of the Arts – although this switchover happened earlier in his mind's eye. He writes his own plays, makes films and is keen on puns – although he rarely makes use of them.
