Norman Henke

It was whilst discovering the character of Gianni Schicchi in Dante Alighieri’s *Divine Comedy* that Norman Henke first developed an interest in theatre during his primary school years. Consequently, alongside a successful career as a sales manager in the construction software sector, he took on various roles on amateur stages in the Chiemgau region. Having completed a qualification as a business administrator, he decided to turn his passion for theatre into a professional career. Since 2017, Norman has been studying Theatre and Media Studies at Ruhr University Bochum. Alongside his studies, he is active both on and off stage in various productions. He has worked for the Essen Theatre and Philharmonic, as a volunteer assistant director at the Kleines Theater Essen and as part of the ‘Theaterallianz vier.ruhr for the Mühlheim Drama Prize, the Theater an der Ruhr and the Ringlockschuppen Ruhr, as well as in independent artistic projects for Lex Rütten and Jana Kerima Stolzer, Kasia Fudakowski and Provence Magazine Zurich. With his expertise in project cost management, he is part of MiR.LAB as a commercial project coordinator.
