biography

After graduating from high school, Dorn attended the Leipzig Theater Academy , left the GDR in 1956 and switched to the Max Reinhardt School for Drama in West Berlin , where he completed his training with Hilde Körber and Lucie Höflich . Between 1958 and 1961 he was employed as an assistant director , dramaturge and actor at the Landesbühne Hannover , then he worked as a reporter and speaker for the NDR . In 1964 he returned to Hanover, where he was the first director and dramaturge at the Landesbühne. From 1968 to 1970 he directed in Essen , 1971 to 1975 at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg , but also directed in Oberhausen , Basel , the Vienna Burgtheater and the Staatliche Schauspielbühnen Berlin . In 1976, Dorn moved to the Münchner Kammerspiele , where he initially took over the management of the theater and, in 1983, succeeded Hans-Reinhard Müller as artistic director. Further duties: founding rector of the Stuttgart Theater Academy in 1988 and interim director of the Munich Theater of Youth in 1990.

After Dorn had significantly strengthened the reputation of the Münchner Kammerspiele as a leading theater, his contract was not extended in 2001, but instead the artistic director was transferred to Frank Baumbauer . Dorn then became director of the Bavarian State Theater and, in this capacity, also a member of the Bavarian Broadcasting Council . Martin Kušej has been his successor in these offices since 2011 .
