About

Julia Monschau is a dancer and choreographer living in Berlin, born in Wuppertal. 

In the season 2010-2012 Julia was engaged as a dancer for the production „Der gestiefelte Kater“ at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein (Düsseldorf / Duisburg).

She completed her dance training in Berlin in 2015 and then cooperated with Kosmas Kosmopoulos, Johann Geidies and Katrina Elizabeth. 

Numerous performances followed, including in Berlin and Athens. 

For several years Julia has been developing her own choreographic works, which have been shown at Theater Tanzspeicher in Würzburg / Dansmakers Amsterdam (NL) / Theater Toneelschuur Haarlem (NL) / Berlin / Barnes Crossing SoloDuo 2021 Cologne, among others. Her creation #29828993 was selected, realized and performed for the New Adventure Residency 2020 by Dansmakers Amsterdam in cooperation with ICK. During an interdisciplinary dance and performance project in July / August 2021 Julia’s latest creation „Hinterland“ was developed in cooperation with Miro Mitrovic.

Based on this collaboration Julia decided to create an artist portrait about Miro Mitrovic – one of the first voguing dancers in Germany – with the GVL grant November 2020 – February 2021. Since 2023 Julia has been cooperating – in different productions – with the “ Theater der Klänge “ in Düsseldorf. 

Constantly trying to evolve, expand her horizons and challenge herself, Julia incorporates elements of hip-hop, house, mixed martial arts and Thai boxing into her artistic works. 

Her interest in communication led Julia to start learning German Sign Language 8 months ago.
