Dany Tollemer grew up in Châtellerault. At the age of nine she started taking piano lessons and gaining her first stage experience. Her main aim was to do theater . From 1999 to 2003 she worked in a free theater / cabaret group in Châtellerault. For two years she attended the state circus school of Châtellerault outside of school .

After graduating from high school in the modern language branch, she attended courses at the Conservatoire de Théâtre in Poitiers parallel to her bachelor's degree at the University of Poitiers. Her four-year acting training with singing and dance lessons (2003-2007) ended with the degree "Diplôme d'études théâtrales". There she met many actors and directors who definitely influenced her artistic path. E.g .: George Bigot "Shakespeare, Le songe d'une nuit d'été". She also played in the productions of the drama school z. E.g .: Brecht "Mahagonny Songspiel & Happy End", Hanokh Levin "Shitz", Corneille "La place royale"

From 2003 to 2005 she was a singer and piano player in the "James Merlaud" Musette Orchestra and appeared in several theater productions and musicals.

During the Summer Academy 2007, Dany Tollemer attended a three-week clown and pantomime workshop with Laura Fernandez at the Marburg Summer Academy and was thus able to play in front of a German audience for the first time.

In October 2007 she took a position as a foreign language assistant in Nuremberg . There she met the pianist and composer Andreas Rüsing, who became her stage partner.

In 2008 she did a three-month internship in theater education at the State Theater in Nuremberg and in 2009 worked as an intern in the production of “ Piaf ”.

From 2009 to 2010 Dany Tollemer worked as a freelance French teacher at the German-French Institute (DFI) in Erlangen and wrote her master's thesis on " Interculturality at the theater" at the same time . Since completing her master's degree in “cultures et sociétés étrangères” in October 2010, she has devoted herself entirely to music and drama.

She performs regularly and plans to record her next CD this time with a band in the studio. At the same time, she is involved in various artistic projects and also offers workshops (theater, radio play recording ...). She has also become a permanent member of the "daydreamer" an improv theater group from the "quibble" in Nuremberg's southern part .

The stage arts are their way of getting involved in new encounters, beyond their national origins.
