Biography

Simina German works as a freelance director and performer. Her artistic practice moves between theatre, dance, film, music and visual art. She realizes stage productions and devised pieces as well as performances, films and installations, often working in an interdisciplinary way. Alongside her own directing work, she accompanies devised projects as an outside eye, particularly in the field of physical theatre.

Her work has been shown at venues including Junges Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf, Schauspiel Dortmund, Maschinenhaus Essen, Centre Pompidou Paris and Al-Kasaba Theatre Ramallah, as well as at the ITs Festival Amsterdam and festivals in Germany and Italy.

Born in Cluj, Romania, Simina German first studied Philosophy and European Art History in Heidelberg and completed her Master's degree in Art History at the Sorbonne in Paris in 2008. In parallel, she trained as an actress at Cours Florent. From 2009 to 2013, she studied Directing/Acting at Folkwang University of the Arts.

Since 2016, she has been a regular participant in Gaga trainings with dancers from Batsheva Dance Company and Ohad Naharin at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv.

In addition to her artistic work, she is also active in teaching.
