Gine­ke Pran­ger crea­tes and directs inno­va­ti­ve music thea­ter works and instal­la­ti­ons. Her approach as a direc­tor is trans­di­sci­pli­na­ry, blen­ding dif­fe­rent art forms, with her pro­duc­tions stan­ding out for their mul­ti­me­dia tech­ni­ques and rich musi­cal expression.

Her artis­tic prac­ti­ce revol­ves around a playful inves­ti­ga­ti­on of gen­res and the limits of musi­cal per­cep­ti­on. A key focus in her work is the deep explo­ra­ti­on of vocal expres­si­on, espe­ci­al­ly in cho­ral spea­king. Seve­ral of her pro­jects are desi­gned to enga­ge an inter­ge­ne­ra­tio­nal audience.

Pran­ger stu­di­ed direc­ting for dra­ma and music thea­ter at the Thea­ter Aca­de­my August Ever­ding in Munich, in the class of Sebas­ti­an Baum­gar­ten. She suc­cessful­ly com­ple­ted her master’s degree the­re in 2020. Addi­tio­nal­ly, Pran­ger is also a pro­fes­sio­nal­ly trained

musi­ci­an. She com­ple­ted her instru­men­tal stu­dies at the Roy­al Con­ser­va­to­ry in The Hague and the Ber­lin Uni­ver­si­ty of the Arts. As a musi­ci­an, she spe­cia­li­zed in His­to­ri­cal Per­for­mance Prac­ti­ce and con­tem­po­ra­ry music, as well as forms of free improvisation.

In 2021, Pran­ger was the resi­dent direc­tor at Thea­ter Pfüt­ze in Nurem­berg, whe­re she wro­te and direc­ted seve­ral new music thea­ter pie­ces for young audi­en­ces. She has work­ed with various orchestras and ensem­bles on new per­for­mance for­mats for both ear­ly and con­tem­po­ra­ry music, inclu­ding Steg­reif Orches­ter, Ensem­ble Neue Kam­mer, and Ensem­ble Con­s­ord – Musik für Heute.
