Hi! I'm Nele. I'm a musical theatre performer and choreographer and I'M so glad you fpound my page.

​

Even before I realized it, theater was my absolute passion. At the tender age of 3, after seeing “Swan Lake,” I decided that the stage was where I belonged.

​

A few years later, I fell in love with musicals.

When I was 9 years old, I saw the film “Moulin Rouge” and fell head over heels not only for Nicole Kidman, but also for the music, the glitz, the costumes, and the huge emotions

it stirred in me. 

​

I knew—that's what I want to do too.

​

Until then, I had spent most of my life in the ballet studio or with my horse (my other great passion, which I unfortunately can't pursue as much anymore). 

So now it was going to be musical theater, and since I can be very stubborn, I pursued this plan with iron discipline from that point on. 

​

And when I was 18, it worked out—I was accepted at the Performing Center Austria in Vienna.​ I studied musical theater and worked in Austria and Germany for five years right after graduation. 

But I quickly realized that musical theater in Germany  is different from musical theater on the West End or Broadway—and that's where I wanted to go, and still want to go.

​

So, after spending five years on German-speaking stages, I decided to give it a try.  I  applied for a master's degree at the Royal Academy of Music, was accepted, and had one of the most formative years of my life.

​

 

I got to know musical theater in a whole new way. In a culture  where it has been established for much longer than in Germany.

In a culture where no distinction is made between “musical performer” and “actress.” 

Where every pause in a score is analyzed and every emphasis is sacred.

​

And I took this knowledge back with me to Germany.

In my work, both on and behind the stage, I now try to combine these two worlds.

I would like to contribute to us being more daring in musicals in Germany as well.

I would like to contribute to breaking down role stereotypes and the pigeonholing that these stereotypes entail.

I bring a modern and attentive attitude to every rehearsal, whether as a choreographer or a performer.

​

​And at the end of the day, I want to have fun, tell good stories, and every now and then just sing a great song in a beautiful glittery costume.​
