education and profession

Meyer grew up in Erlangen and Mainz . Her parents are the music school teacher Heidi Meyer and the Orient expert Günter Meyer .

During her studies, she spent a semester abroad at the London College of Printing and worked for half a year at Ogilvy & Mather Advertising Frankfurt .

In 2005 Meyer completed her master's degree at the University of the Arts in London in the subject of “Research Design” and studied acting at the Stage & Musical School Frankfurt . During this time she also played at the Frankfurt Cellar Theater as part of the teAtrum VII ensemble. In 2006 she moved from Frankfurt am Main to Munich to work as an art director in an advertising agency . At the same time, she studied at the International School for Drama and Acting Munich (ISSA) . In 2007 she started her own business as an art director. At the beginning of 2009 Meyer completed his acting studies with the stage maturity test. Since 2009 she has been working in parallel with her work as a designer, both as an actress and since 2014 as a cabaret artist and author. In 2014 Inka Meyer opened the Heidelberg Theater Days in Karlstorbahnhof with “KILL ME, KATE!” . The play is a comedy “about the tragedy of being a woman today”. Meyer slips into the role of a theater maker who has to stage William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew . On stage she sheds light on the situation and problems of equality, such as the underrepresentation of women in management levels or the unequal treatment in terms of pay and the resulting poverty in old age.

In October 2017 her second cabaret program “The Devil Wears Parka” premiered at the Schlachthof in Munich. Central themes here are the excesses of the beauty industry, accompanied by the demand for relaxed femininity.

Meyer lives in Frankfurt and Tübingen and is with the cabaret artist Philipp Weber .
