As a director, I develop performances and creative processes rooted in listening, clarity, and collaborative leadership.
I work with the international creative and organizational team dasintegral. It develops individual shows, which are fined-tuned to represent our client’s vision. The newest impulses from the arts, science, fashion, dance, and theater scenes flow into the process, forming a complete work of art. Openings, image shows, corporate events, tradeshow performances, or the pure desire to create meaningful events are all in good hands with us.
Our team is characterized by experience, creativity and openness. Lively, contemporary, and extraordinary concepts are developed together with the client and designed 100% to fit their idea.
In doing so, we place good and creative consultation for suggestions, questions, and solutions in the forefront.
Teamwork, tolerance, respect and open-mindedness are an important part of our projects.
With our creative know-how, we are pleased to support our clients in image building, maintenance, and improvement.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Barbara as a performer under her direction. I was awestruck by her amazing ability to be precise and strong in her vision and yet kind and encouraging in every moment. Her steady leadership never faltered even when the pressure of producing through the cold night clearly had it’s effect on all involved. I would be honoured to work with her again”.
