JULIA STANOEVA

Lecturer for Voice and Speech at the ZHDK in Zurich

Julia Stanoeva began studying speech education and speech arts in 2012 at HMDK Stuttgart and focused on reciting literary texts in front of an audience. Julia Stanoeva's desire to also use her art socially led her to interrupt her studies in 2015 and take up geography studies at the Humboldt University of Berlin. She deliberately sought out interfaces between society and art as work insights, for example at the artist collective "Center for Political Beauty", the NDR, or at PIK Potsdam. In 2019 she completed her BA in Speech Education and a year later her MA in Speech Arts. In the process, she performed as a speaker in numerous contexts (Staatsgalerie and Literaturhaus Stuttgart; voice over/sync/image films and as a speaker on SWR radio). She started the Master's program Theory and Practice of Experimental Performance in 2020 and is a lecturer for Voice and Speech at the ZHDK in Zurich in BA Theater since September 2021. It is Ms. Stanoeva's particular concern to lend her voice to political and social issues and to provide food for thought beyond the mere transmission of information. To seek this in the world of literature is explained by her attitude that ideas and possible answers are already there in art and only need to be heard.
