Barbara Duchow

Performing Artist, Coach and Director

I work at the intersection of body, voice, and presence, bridging the performing arts with leadership coaching, communication training, and personal development. My work is grounded in an international career as a performing artist, director, singer, and songwriter, combined with embodied and artistic practice.

Through theatre, music, film, live performance, and collaborative creation, I explore presence, expression, and communication as living, embodied practices—essential both on stage and in professional leadership contexts.


MY WORK

From this artistic foundation, I support leaders, artists, and organizations in developing authentic presence, clarity, and expressive confidence. I integrate performance, directing, music, and coaching methodologies to strengthen embodied leadership, creative thinking, and effective communication in complex and high-impact environments.

 

Performing Arts

I work across acting, film and television, music, songwriting, and live performance, engaging audiences through voice, presence, and storytelling.

Leadership Coaching & Training

I design and facilitate coaching processes, leadership trainings, and workshops for artists, executives, and teams, with a focus on embodiment, communication skills, presence, and authentic leadership.

Yoga & Meditation

I offer yoga and meditation practices that cultivate embodied awareness, grounding, and mindful presence, supporting both artistic performance and professional leadership.

Across all my work, presence is a practice. The body and voice are not tools to be controlled, but sources of intelligence, perception, and action—fundamental to leadership, creativity, and meaningful communication.

Based between Hamburg and Toulouse, I work internationally with theatres, cultural institutions, organizations, and private clients.
