Here he learned the theoretical craft that he put into practice alongside his studies as a broadcast and podcast journalist for the nationwide online radio station detektor.fm. He worked for the State Office of Performing Arts Saxony e. V. as well as for the Service Agency FREIE SZENE to help develop the independent performing arts in Saxony and to network them nationally and internationally. In 2019, he co-founded the Association of Independent Performing Arts in Chemnitz e.V. in order to represent the interests of the artists at the local level towards politics and city administration and to further develop the local performing arts together with the actors and institutions.
