I was very honoured to be asked to do recordings for the awards ceremony again, after having done so already in 2018. I recorded short films that introduced the winners and called them onto the stage, e.g. Greta Thunberg at 35 minutes 38 seconds.

The artist Arnold Dreyblatt asked me to work on a video project he’s doing for Ravensbrück Concentration camp. I’m on screen, reciting/reading (German original) Nazi propaganda texts that were directed at women. It’s been a harrowing yet fascinating project. The exhibition runs till 10 September 2021, after which the installation will become part of the permanent exhibition. Recording: Zeitzeugen Studio (in German).

This is the second time I’m working on one of Arnold’s projects. In 2019, I took part in a live reading / performance “Anni und Joseph Albers am Black Mountain College“ as part of a symposium at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin.
I was delighted to act as the presenter at this charming event at the Villa Tauber, Potsdam. What was really fun was that I got to switch between not only English and German, but also Afrikaans, as some guests had flown in for the party especially from South Africa. I was also overjoyed to work with Elke Schmidt again, who co-ordinated the event. Ms. Plattner, who has dedicated herself to NGO work, is a truly impressive woman, who I was honoured to get to know a bit better. Ulrich Tukur & die Rhythmus Boys played a hugely entertaining concert, and then the DJ opened the dancefloor with Queen’s “Don’t stop me now!”. The birthday girl skipped around the dancefloor barefoot. Altogether, a fabulous party.
