Daphna Horowitz

Daphna Horowitz was born in Würzburg in 1997 and grew up in Düsseldorf. During her childhood and youth she spent a lot of time at Junges Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf. She was active in the youth club as well as in the improvisation theatre club of Theatersportler*innen. After graduating from high school, she completed a year of voluntary service at Walder Theatertage Solingen and at the same time assisted at the children’s club of Junges Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf. In 2016, she began her studies in cultural studies and aesthetic practice with the subjects of theatre and media at the University of Hildesheim. There she was part of the student initiative for researching theatre pedagogy (PROBE:BÜHNE Hildesheim), in which she regularly designed workshops for and with her fellow students that playfully tested theatre pedagogical work. One of her student projects was the feminist performance “reclaiming hysteria”, in which she dealt with female rage in a collective. In addition, Daphna worked as a freelance theatre pedagogue in various projects of Junges Staatstheater Braunschweig and Cluster e.V. Hildesheim.
In the 2021/22 season, Daphna Horowitz was a permanent theatre pedagogue at Junges Ensemble Stuttgart. Here she worked, among other things, in the kindergarten language support project and was responsible as a leader for various clubs. In addition, she accompanied the production “Oma Monika – was war?”.
