In Berlin she also became founder-member of the
avantgarde fire-theatre company
"Tout Feu - Tout Flamme". They toured one year
with their breathtaking street-theatre-show in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France.

Then she trained and studied for three years the circus arts in Paris/France at the circus-schools
"Ecole au Carrée" and "Ecole Nationale de Cirque
Annie Fratellini". To make her living she
performed as a make-up artist at all fameous 
artist-places of Paris such as "Place Montmartre" and "Centre Pompidou".
 

The following years Irene had engagements all over the
world in circuses, galas and variety-theatres: she was a dancer in the "Latino Show", the contorsionist in the "Doll-act" of Italo Medini and the arial-acrobat in the Risley-act of Johnny Novaks. As the "Duo Novaks" they completed entire seasons with "Circo Orfei" in Italy and with the "Dream-Theatre Salomé" in Germany.

An accident in the ring put an end to the acrobatic career
and for the next four seasons they perfomed in the
amusement-park "Holiday-Park" in Germany as
make-up artist and stilts-walker.

In these 4 years performing 7 days a week, 8 hours a day
she could create and develop her unique style of
face-painting and graceful, fairy-tale-like stilts-walkacts -
the beginning of ART & BALANCE!

 

 

When her son was born in 1995 another phase in
life began. She focused all her various talents,
experiences and energy in the own agency
ART & BALANCE to offer beautiful attractions and programs for all kind of events, galas and fairs.

In order to manage the new challenges and
functions Irene successfully completed a
course of studies in event-management.

In the world of  events Irene feels really good
and with a selected team of artists ART & BALANCE
is steadily successful growing and expanding!
