ABOUT US
Superbohemians (GbR) was founded in Berlin in 2015 by the artist duo Greta Amend and Christian Alexander Rogler, following our seven-year collaboration in our "Embassy of Performing Arts" (2008–2014). Our mission is to foster continuous artistic exchange between creatives from Germany and abroad.
We work at the intersection of film, theater, and visual arts, focusing on the actor and language as the epicenter of our interdisciplinary productions. Our projects range from solo works to collaborations with a diverse network of artists across Europe. We develop and produce group performances, site-specific happenings, performative lecture demonstrations, novel adaptations for stage and screen, staged readings, and film projects.
As a teaching team, Greta Amend leads our educational programs, with artistic support from Christian Alexander Rogler. Together, we offer a holistic approach to artistic development, combining practical skills with philosophical and ethical reflection.
A central part of our practice is the transfer of knowledge through workshops and masterclasses. These programs, known for their innovative approach to actor training, have been invited since 2012 by renowned institutions such as the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB), the Norsk Skuespillersenter, the National Danish Film School, and the Danish National School of Performing Arts (DDSKS).
Our artistic work increasingly focuses on human rights and ethics, intertwining these issues with artistic research and development. We view art also as a medium for social reflection and discourse. An example of this is our experimental documentary "I Wanted to Live" , which serves as a digital memorial to the over 35,000 (2018) documented deaths of refugees and migrants at Europe’s borders since 1993. Furthermore, we collaborated with Filmmakers for Ukraine, Crew United, Artists at Risk and the Goethe-Institut, supporting Ukrainian filmmakers by providing resources, networking opportunities, and online courses to facilitate their integration into the international film industry.
Our work explores the relationship between people and social conditions, fosters collective inquiry, and promotes interdisciplinary exchange. Over the years, we have built a pan-European artist network that provides a platform to transform creative ideas and social discussions into action. We have collaborated with artists from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Greece, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and many more, forming temporary ensembles of actors, directors, writers, visual artists, musicians, and other creatives.
The spirit of our work is based on the belief that the human being – especially the actor – remains at the core of theatrical expression, particulary in an increasingly digitized world.
