ANNIKA HOFGESANG
Annika Hofgesang (born in 1989 in Essen) is a passionate actress with strong physical presence and artistic versatility. Trained as a stage dancer with a focus on contemporary dance, acting, and improvisation (DansArt Academy Bielefeld, graduated in 2013), she combines body awareness, emotional expressiveness, and stage presence into a physically poetic performance style – ranging from surreal character portrayals and comedic timing to classical dramatic scenes in the style of Shakespeare.
She has performed at, among others, the Municipal Theater of Duisburg in the dance theater company under the direction of Rotraud Hantke. Her further training includes work with Peeping Tom (physical theatre & scenic work) and Damien Jalet (body and energy work).
Her movement language includes contemporary dance, floorwork, partnering, Argentine tango, improvisation, and comedic dance theatre. She has a strong sense of character, high expressive power, and a remarkable ability to play emotionally and energetically through the body.
Her physical repertoire is complemented by ten years of training in Okinawan karate, which has given her precise body control, discipline, and mental focus.
Annika (170 cm) lives between Berlin and Bielefeld, speaks fluent English, masters both Ruhr dialect and standard German, holds a class B driver’s license as well as a recreational boating license (Sportbootführerschein See), and is open to interdisciplinary formats, maritime projects, and physically demanding roles. Her playing age is 28–40 years.
