Profile

Franziska brings people onto the stage – and strengthens their presence. Her approach combines evidence‑based communication science with rehearsal‑based methods derived from scenic practice.

Her directing work has taken her to the Bayreuth Festival, the Berlin State Opera, and the Cottbus State Theatre. She has received awards at the Biennale Musica in Venice, as well as for the film opera AMALIA! Un’opera western at the Stadttheater Bozen.

Alongside her lecturing role at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, she regularly leads seminars for politicians, executives, and professionals working in communicative and mediating fields.
