Joachim Lemke
Hans Joachim Lemke (born October 21, 1942 in Hamburg , † March 28, 2001 in Rostock ) was a German pantomime , director and lecturer for acting.
Life and career
Less than a year after Lemke's birth, his mother moved with him to Thuringia, where he graduated from high school in Gera in 1961 after frequent moves and retraining. He began studying medicine at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and became a member of the university pantomime studio. This first contact with the stage sparked a keen interest in the theater, so that he broke off his studies in 1964 and founded a pantomime group in Gera and earned his living in the hospital.
In 1969 he was engaged as a pantomime by the Rostock Volkstheater for two years. In 1971, Lemke began teaching pantomime at what was then the Rostock State Drama School and leading the first stage studies. But from the mid-1970s there was a falling out with the drama school, and although he celebrated his first own production in the Anklam Theater , his exclusion from the SED, increased alcohol consumption and problems with state security isolated him from his field of work until the 1980s, so that he received only a few, temporary jobs in drama schools and theaters.
It was not until 1982 that Lemke got an engagement as a pantomime at the Staatstheater Schwerin and with it the opportunity to perform and stage again. This was followed by an engagement as a pantomime at the Rostock Volkstheater in 1985 and as a director from 1987, but also scene studies at the Rostock Academy of Dramatic Art and numerous guest performances and guest productions.
After saying goodbye to active pantomime in 1991, Lemke and other artists founded the Compagnie de Comédie Rostock and directed it regularly until 1993. In 1993 Lemke was awarded the Culture Prize of the Hanseatic City of Rostock.
In the years that followed, guest productions, workshop productions and scene studies took him across Germany, including at the Gostner Hoftheater Nuremberg , Lautten Compagney Berlin , HMT Leipzig and Staatstheater Cottbus . From 1997 he taught again as a lecturer at the Rostock University of Music and Theater and was appointed professor in 2000. His workshop productions have been awarded prizes in competitions held by German-speaking drama schools (Vontobel Prize 1997).
In the spring of 2001 Lemke succumbed to the consequences of cancer after several months of fighting.
