Born in Munich, Ute von Funcke still lives there. Very early she developed a love for literature, tales, myths and with growing interest philosophy, psychology and politics. She took to acting as a schoolgirl and in her student`s years, which taught her to watch human acting, behaviour and communication. Impressions of post-war years in her early childhood, hunger, a bombed city, which women had cleared with their hands, banned back to the kitchen, curtailed in their rights. She joined the students` rebellions in the 1968ies protest against those who sat in key positions, shielded Nazi culprits. A great impact on her later writing as well as her family`s sense for justice, tolerance and vibrant empathy for those who suffer. As a teacher for languages, ethics/ philosophy and drama at secondary schools, she studied body- work, Qigong and expressive dance, gave workshops for adults, became a coach for colleagues who taught acting. Besides writing plays for children, a collection of pieces for puppet players, she took to writing poetry in 2004. See less
