about katharina
I’m a trained actress for theater | film | tv.
Having completed a three-years program for stage and screen acting, I successfully graduated from drama school in 2014. Before I decided to pursue a professional acting career, I got a Bachelor’s degree in “Philosophy & Economics” (University of Bayreuth).
Having worked with a range of teachers as well as techniques combined with my background in philosophy, I value emotional authenticity and an outside-the-box approach to developing roles. That’s why I’m particularly passionate about independent arthouse film projects, which, due to their inherent artistic ambition, allow actors to portray complex characters and trigger thought processes as well as dialogue using a multi-dimensional narrative style.
Born and raised in Germany, I have spent a lot of time in the United States.
I am an artist.
I want it all.
acting transparently
for honesty, truth & trust
looking behind the obvious
searching for the hidden one,
for the deep,
for something real
thinking outside the box
to create something
passionate
“impressions” | selected clips
there’s no either…or
it’s both…and
I am both classy and curious
both serious and sexy
I am an artist -
I am this free
a bit of madness? always!
artists are like dancers
we don’t distinguish between
falling and flying
give it space!

a bit more on me
To combine my different professional backgrounds in acting | art | design I established botzenh.art®, an arts & entertainment brand and maison botzenh.art®, a creative studio realizing transdisciplinary projects in the arts. Also I am the co-founder of FormSpace.ART, an artist collaboration for hybrid art objects & bespoke design.
Privately, I’m running MB-Farmhouse, the “MB”, a vacation rental linking nature & history with art & design.
Beyond acting and modeling, due to running my own busines for years, I’m happy to also enrich any production by sharing my knowledge of:
- photography | narrative, storytelling, cinematic, behind the scenes
- writing | script, creative, poetry
- creative thinking
- teamwork skills, especilly with artists
- real estate & interior design
- marketing for business & arts

“Generation Zeitgeist” | essay
on Warhol, millenials & role research
“Being an actor, there’s no better place to work on a character than a recently opened coworking space in Berlin. At least when having “zeitgeist-generation, all gender” as sole stage direction. I’m not sure what to think of my newly assigned role. But as I have decided to welcome every single one of them with curious impartiality, I’m busy doing some observing. (…) white sneakers and ripped skinny jeans arguing with long coats and black hats whether they should serve sustainable food. The first thing to note on my tablet is: “No suits necessary”. Forget about status. Time is the new luxury. (…) We are full of abstract fears...with the biggest one: becoming cool before growing old.(…)”
