Johan Hoffman

Actor • Musician • Writer

I work with theatre, film and music, grounded in live performance and shared presence. My practice moves between interpretation and original creation, often drawing on myth and transformation.

Current work

Myth - a trilogy

A three-part stage work inspired by ancient myth, developed in dialogue with an ensemble through rehearsal and in front of an audience.

Practise

My work centers on creating presence, a shared moment between performers and audience.
I am drawn to mythic material as a way of speaking about transformation, love and what it means to be human.
I see the stage as a place for attention, encounter and ritual, a way of creating a common now.I work both solo and in ensemble, across theatre, film and music.
