Volker SCHMIDT (AT)

Volker Schmidt was born in 1976 in Klosterneuburg. He got his training as an actor at the Vienna Conservatory. Volker Schmidt works as an author, director and actor. His plays have premiered at, among other venues, Theater Phönix in Linz, GRIPS-Theater Berlin, Schauspielhaus Wien and Landestheater Linz. In 2007 he wrote a multimedia, multistation play entitled “komA” and staged it at the Rahlgasse College Preparatory School in Vienna. Students and professional actors collaborated on this highly-praised project that dealt with the subject of the “murderous rampage”; the entire school facility served as the play’s setting. Volker Schmidt’s work as an actor can be seen on stage (e.g. Theater an der Josefstadt in
Vienna, Landestheater Salzburg) and on TV (e.g. Soko-Kitzbühel).
