Ulli Wittemann (Teacher and Coach for Movement, Acting, Awareness and Communication)

A passion for movement and growth has drawn Ulli to new directions since he was a child. After practicing ballroom dance and hip hop as a teenager, and many years of studying different martial arts (Judo, Aikido, kickboxing, boxing, and most recently Muay Thai) he fell in love with Contact Improvisation in 2001 during his actors’ studies at the University of Performing Arts in Frankfurt, Germany. After eight years of performing more than 1000 shows in the German State Theater system he decided to change his focus from performing to sharing his love for movement, acting, awareness, and communication, teaching in Munich and abroad. In recent years he has taught workshops, classes, masterclasses and retreats in China, Japan, India, Thailand, Bali, Israel, Palestine, USA, Canada, Turkey, Russia and 12 other European countries. He is one of the Founders of the Tempelhof Contact Festival, the BODY MIND SOUL Festival in Germany, and the Conscious Flow Festival in India. His portfolio includes Feldenkrais, Modern Dance and his own PLAYFIGHT system. Wittemann holds a diploma in acting and has held his own nature retreat since 2015.

He enjoys supporting the personal and professional processes of individual clients and groups in public institutions (e.g. universities and dance schools) and private companies, as well as personal coaching in the fields of body awareness and dance, voice training, acting, presence and presentation. He believes in a healthy balance between structure and chaos, clear goals and the enjoyment of life, while unfolding our full potential as human beings.
