Ulrike Syha (born February 26, 1976 in Wiesbaden ) is a German playwright and translator.
Life
Ulrike Syha passed her Abitur in 1995 at the Rabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium in Mainz and then did an annual internship at the Darmstadt State Theater . From 1996 she studied dramaturgy at the "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" University of Music and Theater in Leipzig . From 1999 to 2002 Syha was employed as an assistant director at the Schauspiel Leipzig , where she a. a. worked with Wolfgang Engel , Konstanze Lauterbach , Matthias Brenner and Johanna Schall . In 2002 she took part in the writing workshop of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg.
In autumn 2006 Ulrike Syha received a scholarship from the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, 2007/2008 a scholarship from the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen Foundation and in 2008 she received a three-month residency grant from the Deutsche Akademie Rom Casa Baldi .
Ulrike Syha also works as a translator (English-German) for Rowohlt Theater Verlag . Drama texts by Davide Enia , Wallace Shawn , Alan Ayckbourn and Martin Crimp were broadcast by her.
On September 10, 2014 she was awarded the Robert Gernhardt Prize for her novel project " Der Korridor " in the Naxoshalle , Frankfurt am Main .
Syha's drama text Drift won the 2018 Heidelberger Stückemarkt's Authors' Prize worth 10,000 euros . The play is about the notorious reluctance to change in a north German village society. As always with the Stückemarkt, the winning play was performed on the opening night of the following drama competition. Directed by Gustav Rueb , it premiered as a non-stop 100-minute production. According to the reviewer, the tragic-comedic claim of the Syha text was not fully met because "the characters are drawn unrestrainedly exaggerated".
Ulrike Syha has been living as a freelance playwright in Hamburg since summer 2003 .
