Celine Fortenbacher
Celine, 23 years old, grew up with the stage and theatre life. Both of her parents being trained performers, she continued their craft by practicing dance (ballet, contemporary, voguing) and performance (acting) from an early age. Almost simultaneously she captured her experiences on camera and became more interested in the work behind the scenery of film and theatre.
During college in Hamburg, she got booked for celebratory events such as birthdays and weddings. After finishing college, she worked as a production assistant intern (Fortune Cookie Film production), as a voice-artist (nhb, Winterzeit Verlag) and as a dramaturgy and directing assistant intern whilst shadowing the productions Das Tierreich (The Animal Kingdom) at the Thalia Theatre and Fast Normal (Next To Normal) at the Kammerspiele Theatre in Hamburg, Germany.
Throughout, she directed the photography and concepts for album covers (Intimate Night, Kamionka), posters for theatre productions (Ich hab Hunger, Side Orders, A Site of Abject, Pity and Ruin) and focused on directing her own shows (Who ever said it was easy, Colder Water, No Soothing Grave For Us, Sycorax, Putzi) during her Drama & Theatre arts degree at Goldsmiths University in London.
She has since worked in the arts and entertainment business and starred in music videos, short movies, plays and adverts as an independent dancer, performer and voice-artist as well as continued to work as a part-time photographer taking headshots for all kinds of performers and other people she meets.
