ZARAH
BRACHT
I was born and raised in Hamburg (Germany), and studied theatre directing in Amsterdam (Academy for Theatre and Dance, AHK).
I am a freelance director of devised work in mostly physical and visual theatre. Since 2022 I work as an intimacy coordinator for film and theatre, next to my directing projects.
I’m based in Amsterdam and available to work anywhere I can reach by train. I am fluent in German, Dutch and English and also understand and speak a bit of French.
