Julia Dorothee Brunsch is an actress/performer, painter, musician and Gestalt therapist.
She has been acting since she was eight years old. It all began with performances on a regional open-air stage at the Naturtheater Waldbühne in Sigmaringendorf. Later at the Junges Theater Ulm. Early on she decides to turn her hobby into a profession.
During her school years, she spent a year in the United States in 2001-2002 for a high school stay. In Oconomowoc near Milwaukee she focused on art education. Her main focus is on orchestra (clarinet), choral singing, theatre and photography. Impressed by the American way of life, she experienced performances in Disneyland (Florida), Chicago and Madison.
After graduating from high school, she travelled around the world - Thailand, Laos, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, USA, Israel.
She then graduated from the Otto Falckenberg School in Munich.
During her academic training, she took part in several productions at the Münchner Kammerspiele. Among others, with Schorsch Kamerun and the video artist Tobias Yves Zintel, as well as in "Der Sturm", directed by Stefan Pucher.
This production was invited to the Berliner Festspiele - Theatertreffen in 2008.
In 2009 she plays in "Der zerbrochene Krug" at the Residenztheater Munich, directed by Tina Lanik.
She discovered her love of singing while still at drama school and has since written her own song lyrics, which she performs instrumentally with several musicians. The vocal experience of how one can directly touch people with sounds and words in just short moments inspires and inspires her. Music becomes her hobbyhorse.
Her teacher Georgette Dee is particularly noteworthy in this respect, as a chanson singer with her own stage programme, she shows her new ways.
In 2012 she moved to Hamburg with her family.
From 2013 to 2014 she plays in the play "Die Firma dankt" at Theater Kontraste, Winterhuder Fährhaus in Hamburg.

In 2014 she animates the animals in the award-winning Peta-Tyke documentary "Der letzte Auftritt", directed by Andreas Brunsch. Giving the animated animals a mimic liveliness is a new and interesting experience for her.

In 2014 she worked again with Schorsch Kamerun on the video installation for the art exhibition "Ordinary Freaks" in Graz.
In 2015 she can be seen -under her own direction- in the SMS Self Made Shorties Festival with her short film "Love is Perspective" at the Munich International Film Festival.

2015-2016 she plays "Helena" in "The Fairy Queen" at Theater Lübeck, directed by Tom Ryser and "Jessica" in "Stück Plastik" at Theater Kontraste, directed by Meike Harten. In 2018 she is shooting two more short films "Freischwimmer" and "The Magician" with students of the Dffb, directed by Gaya von Schwarze and Liel Simon.
Over the years, Julia Dorothee Brunsch has also worked as a dubbing artist for various series at Studio Hamburg.
In 2019-2022 she will train as a music therapist at the HIGW Hamburg.
2020 she is shooting "Süsser Sommer" for the Filmakademie Ludwigsburg in cooperation with Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris for the TV station Arte, SWR, directed by Sabrina Mertens.
In 2021-2022 she appeared in several TV productions, including Großstadtrevier, directed by Torsten Wacker and Tatort "Der Mörder in mir", directed by Niki Stein. In 2022 she also played the lead role "Bernadette" in the feature film "Bernadette will töten", directed by Oliver Paulus and Robert Herzl.
Gradually she became more interested in the cross over of theatre and performance art.
She becomes more involved with the visual arts and begins to paint again in order to define her own artistic expression more strongly.


In 2021 she accepts the invitation of the visual artist and musician Frank Campoi to join the artist collective "New Ground Performance". Inspired by "Throbbing Gristle", since 2020 a sound, text & image performance has been created that addresses the effects of industrial capitalism and the associated destruction of the earth. Instrumentally, the collective is oriented towards industrial music, an avant-garde art and music movement that developed worldwide from the mid-1970s onwards from elements of experimental music as well as conceptual and action art. Since 2022 she has been working on an album together with Frank Campoi, a fusion of rhythmic guitar sounds and intimate poetry carried by her songwriting qualities. Julia Dorothee Brunsch currently lives with her family near Hamburg in the Alte Land. ... weniger
