Find your stage character!

Discover who you want to be on stage!

Lady Gaga without her outfits, moves and statements? Hard to imagine! A strong stage persona gives you self-confidence and makes you unforgettable.
We work together:

Your stage presence – relaxed & self-confident
Your personality – who are you up there?
Your signature look – to be remembered
Your mission – what do you want to give the world?

I myself perform as the ‘Killer Kitsch Queen’ – my mission is to spread kitsch! It shows in my stage outfit, my voice and my movements. With my theater background and my performance art studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, I have developed many of my own stage characters – now it’s your turn!

Artist Identity - Vision, Intention & Brand
2025-04-27 12:00 - 17:00 | Frauenmusikzentrum, Große Brunnenstr. 63A, Hamburg, 22763
This workshop is about discovering and understanding your true musician persona. Together we will explore the core questions of your artistic “why” – what is your mission as a musician and what drives you?
Your vision and intention are not only decisive for the music you make, but also influence your stage presence, your appearance and the way you market yourself.
Based on my training at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and my experience as a musician, I want to help you sharpen your artistic identity and develop your personal brand. We work out how you can present yourself authentically and powerfully – on stage and beyond. Once you know your “why”, it becomes the common thread that runs through your work and your image.
Come and take your art and your brand to the next level!
Focus:
Finding your artistic vision and mission
Developing your artist identity and artist brand
Authentic stage presence and personal marketing

Structure:
Part 1 – 26.04.: Basic workshop
Part 2 – 27.04.: Fine-tuning with individual feedback

Gender diversity / gender identities
2025-05-07 19:00 - 21:00 | Frauenmusikzentrum, Große Brunnenstr. 63A, Hamburg, 22763
We should be careful with the gender of other people, with what we think they are and should be, with our ideas about bodies, with our desire for protection. Which lives count? Who defines belonging? Which bodies deserve protection? Who is visible? Who do we not see?
Gender differentiation plays a key role in media reporting and, since the 2017 ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court on the “third option”, gender is no longer just binary. Gender is a multidimensional space, the dimensions of which we do not yet know. We know that genetic, anatomical, hormonal, environmental and psychological factors influence gender, either through shared existence or through interaction.
Daniel Schiano and Cornelia Kost are offering an exciting training course on the basics of dealing with gender-diverse people.
