His career as a director began with an engagement at the theater of the Junge Garde Halle , in whose development he was involved from the very beginning. Here he initiated the establishment of an academy for actors , which, together with the Berliner Ensemble and the Institute for Theater Studies at Humboldt University, taught members of the artistic staff in pantomime and speech training, basic Marxist and theater studies. This was followed by positions as senior director at the theaters in Erfurt, Greifswald, Brandenburg and Dresden.

In 1981 and 1989 he took on directing assignments at the German-speaking theaters in the Soviet cities of Leningrad and Temirtau .

He resigned from this post as early as May 1992 when his collaboration with the State Security of the GDR became known. He never denied these contacts, but emphasized that he had never signed a commitment or received any money. This was followed by directorial work at various theaters in the Federal Republic of Germany, including the Meininger Theater . As a lecturer for direction and acting at the Academy for Performing Arts in Ulm , he found a new job.
