Julia Schneider

Julia Schneider was born in Jerusalem in 1990 and was raised trilingual in Israel and Austria; speaking German, Hebrew and English. She studied musical theater at the Doreen Bird College of Performing Arts in London followed by translation studies in Graz and Vienna. In 2014 she graduated from the Anton Bruckner University with a Bachelor of Arts in acting (including an exchange semester at the Yoram Levinstein Acting Studio in Tel Aviv). She has played at the Landestheater Linz, Dionysus Festival in Croatia and several fringe productions. At the Salzkammergut Festwochen she played in a one-woman show called "Iphigenie auf Kobane"; portraying various strong women with focus on the Kurdish fighters in Kobane. As a member of the M-Arts Culture Association she was part of the organizational direction of the Art Festival "Spiel", located at an organic farm in Austria. The duality of her identity, the complexity of belonging and living between different cultures has strongly influenced her artistic endeavors. The stage should be a laboratory, in which different languages, artistic disciplines and personalities continuously inspire each other. At the moment Julia Schneider lives and works in Tel Aviv, Vienna and Berlin.
