Place: Schaffhausen

Nationality: Switzerland

Languages: German, English, French, Italian

Mirjam grew up doing circus and playing the piano. As a child, the stage was her favorite place where she felt safe and capable of being herself.

While attending a high school with a specialization in music, she discovered her love for choral and ensemble singing, played electric guitar in various bands, and, while participating in an opera production, discovered her passion for theatre. At the same time, she began taking dance lessons in different styles.

All of this led her to the Stageschool in Hamburg, where she began her training to become a musical theatre performer in 2020. After a year of residency in Hamburg and an examination of the questions about why and how to make art, she realized that she wouldn't find the answers in musical theatre and set out to search for a more raw and simple form of art. Her journey eventually brought her to the Accademia Dimitri, where she grew in a new relationship with her body and the person within it. There, she discovered her pleasure in creating and bringing her visions to the stage.

In 2024, she played the role of Mr. Fogg's daughter in the comedy In 80 Tagen um die..., directed by Rainer Früh at the outdoor theatre of Kleinandelfingen.
