Drama

Workshop of interpretation with Roberto Solomon to Geneva in 1999.
The adventure continues since I play with "Les Compagnons des Arts" in Sierre. In 2000, I play the Man of Today in "La grande Muraille" of Max Frisch and I have just finished (in May 2001) a contemporary piece of Denise Bonal : "Lost Steps". My artistic CV is on www.castingsurf.com. I currently prepare the piece "Les sorcières de Salem" (Arthur Miller).

Workshop of improvisation with Nina Weissenberg in Sierre for 1995 to 1997.
I learned techniques of breathing and of diction and it is there that I believe to have acquired the sense of the scene.





Movie art
Spectator Impassioned cinema, my "favorites movies" are Eyes Wide Shut, Matrix, Itinéraire d'un enfant gâté, the fabulous destiny of Amélie Poulain , Natural Born Killer , Joyeuses Pâques, Usual Suspect, Festen, Trainspotting, Birdy, Fight Club, American History X, Braveheart, the Name of the Rose, Sixth sense, Great Blue, Danse with the wolves, Arizona Dream, la vità e bella, Big Lebowsky, etc etc and my preferred film-makers are Stanley Kubrick, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Joel Coen, Emir Kusturica and Oliver Stone.

Actor As I love to play comedy on boards, I wanted to try the experiment in front of a camera. In 1998, my friend Pierre-Yves Franzetti wrote a scenario, heading " My city ", that a young film-maker, Dan Wechsler realized in 8mm film. The history put in scene a character, schizophrene, who is in love with his city and which makes him love. Actually I play this character and even if it was a film amateur, I had an enormous pleasure to do it and that gave me the desire for continuing...
In March 2001, I play the first role of film of the Karrer brothers (of Montana Picture) entitled " the bar ". The Karrer brothers gained several awards and study both cinema in Los Angeles.


Film-maker I wrote in December 2000 a scenario for a short movie, which entitles" The other Half ". I surrounded myself by a team of professionals, semi-professionals and amateurs.
I also worked for other film-maker. First, as sound engineer in the movie of Hicham Alhayat "Sexe, beurre et confiture" and then
as "régisseur général" in the movie "Amour gitan", written by Viviane Bonelli and realized by Pascal Montjovent.





Sport
Karate Karate occupies a great place in my life. In fact I was educated through this martial arts. My trainer and spiritual father Olivier Knupfer played maybe a role as much significant than my parents in my education.

I was 2X Swiss champion by team. I gained several national tournaments. I rose up to half-final international Cup of Bienne and I was selected for a European Championship in Bratislava, in which I unfortunately could not take part due to a wound.  

Actually, I like sport in general and especially footing and fitness.





Voyages
  I visited Australia, California, London, Paris, New York, Pragues, Budapest, Barcelona, Rome, Cologne, Bangkok...

But I think that it I prefer Valais over all.
