about teaching

listening

Nicole Kehrberger has a long lasting experience as an award winning actress, acrobat, aerial artist and dancer on international stages.
She combines all those disciplines in her teaching.
For over 13 years Nicole has worked as master teacher at the Ecole Philippe Gaulier, since over 20 years she teaches acting, acrobatics, dance, vocal and movement all over the world and is today one of the most sought-after teachers in her field.

For Nicole acting starts with the body: “the physical sensibility and the presence on stage form an essential basis for a good actor.”
Her body work is multifaceted. It varies from acrobatics to energetic dance, stretching and relaxing skills, Pilates, Shiatsu and Feldenkrais.
