Sezin Onay (she/her)
Education
I was born in Goslar in 1988. After leaving school, I studied drama and German language and literature at Leibniz University in Hanover and attended seminars at the Braunschweig University of Art and the University of Hildesheim.
Elsewhere
From the beginning of my studies, I was involved in various projects with the youth devision of Theater Hannover. I performed in multiple productions, including by the directors Nurkan Erpulat and Marco Štorman and the theatre and performance collective ‘andcompany&Co’. I worked as an intern in theatre education under the direction of Barbara Kantel and developed my own theatre performances together with people from different backgrounds within the transcultural, intergenerational theatre group ‘Türkisch-Deutsches-Theater’ (TDT) at Theaterhaus Hildesheim. Both during and after my studies, I worked as a freelance theatre educator and led theatre projects with children and young people at Junges Schauspiel Hannover, in youth centres, child and youth counselling centres and associations for intercultural communication, migration and refugee work.
JES! and me
Since the 2016/2017 season, I have been working as a theatre educator at Junges Ensemble Stuttgart. Among other things, I work in the daycare centre language promotion project and am responsible for the clubs ‘Club Kültür’ and ‘Queertown’.
