Magdalena Öttl was born in 1994 in Augsburg, Germany and started her artistic education in an early state. Next to her intensive education in classical music on the violin in Augsburg and Munich, she went through various opportunities of taking part in theatre and opera productions. Combined with her education in classical ballet, which later contained modern and contemporary dance as well, these experiences were emerging as decisive within her prospectively artistic path. In 2013 she started her modern dance studies at Folkwang University of the Arts and worked with choreographers such as Szu-Wei Wu, Mark Sieczkarek and Rainer Behr. Simultaneously she started to create her own choreographic works in 2014 which were shown in different festivals and events around Cologne, Essen, Bochum and Augsburg. Besides the pure technical dance and dance theatre pieces she participated in various interdisciplinary project because of her musical background. Within those creations mostly in cooperation with musicians and actors she intends to approach a multilayer format of performance through the fusion of the different art forms. Since 2017 Magdalena Öttl is working as a freelance artist based in Germany and started to work with the TANZMOTO DANCE COMPANY on their current re-production of Crossing the lines.
