Prof. Johannes Schütz

Born in 1950 in Frankfurt am Main, in the 1970’s Johannes Schütz studied with and was assistant to Wilfried Minks in Hamburg and Berlin. In 1974, he began working as a stage designer for the Schillertheater in Berlin and the Munich Kammerspiele. His first intense collaboration followed with the directors Ernst Wendt and Harald Clemen. In 1976, he went as head of stage design to the Bremen Theater with the team of Frank-Patrick Steckel and Wolfgang Wiens, where he was also frequently engaged with Reinhild Hoffmann’s dance theatre. In the same capacity, he went in 1983 to the Bochum Schauspielhaus. There began his continuing artistic connection to Jürgen Gosch. From 1992 to 1998, Schütz was Professor of Scenography at the ZKM in Karlsruhe. With Peter Mussbach, he has brought out opera productions in Hamburg, Cassel and Brussels. His own productions include Gluck’s Orpheus and Eurydice and Richard Strauss’s Ariadne on Naxos, works by Brecht and Schiller in Bochum and Mainz. Schütz lives in Berlin.

-  뒤셀도르프 교수인 요하네스 슈츠는 일단 독일 동서남북으로 활동을 했다는 점에서 장점이 있다.  브레멘 극장과 보훔 극장 같이 큰 규모의 무대디자인을 한 것도 장점이다. 뒤셀도르프 무대디자인 수업 커리큘럼을 보면 보훔대학과 zusammen arbeiten이 있는데 위에 나왔듯이 이전에 그의 손이 닿았기 때문에 가능하다고 볼수 있다.
