Alexander von Hugo
Musician, Dancer, and Director in Berlin, Deutschland
There had always been that strong desire to express myself through singing. The first professional experience i actually had was being chosen for the production of "Oliver Twist", the opera Wuppertal at the age of 12. I fell in love with the stage during that time and being sorrounded by the incredible Pina Bausch company who worked there in the opera house had a huge influence on my work.
After highschool i decided to audition for drama school and eventually was able to study in Berlin at the "Ernst Busch school of dramatic art". During my first theater engagemnt i was part of music productions with the orchestra of the theater, which eventually gave me the perfect confirmation that there is a "singer" inside of me that needs to create music.
Going back to Berlin i realized that acting is one part of "the cake" and that the expression through singing is what is very much the core of everything . Now I am always looking for that fusion of the Singing and the Theater work having started with a Theater Collage called "Wenn wir über Schatten tanzen". An entertaining and moving piece on how we are still influenced by our ancestors expreriences.
i continue to learn every day and wish to help the audience see aspects of themselves through the work that is created. Its the best thing that can happen: Making an audience reflect, and feel at the same time.
