Life

During her studies, she worked in the field of directing at various German-speaking theaters , including learning from opera director Ruth Berghaus and assistant director at the State Theater in Nuremberg , at the State Theater in Stuttgart , at the Munich Biennale , the international festival for new music theater, and realized her own Theater projects.

Since 1995 she has turned to the topic of media art and was one of the early authors of net literature and German-language flash fiction . Together with the director and author Horst Konietzny, she founded the internet platform theatermaschine.net in 1999 with the thematic focus on theater, performance, media and intermedia. Miller was a member of the editorial team until 2009. She published her first literary texts in literary magazines and self-designed literary weblogs since 1997 (until 2016 under the author's name Gisela Müller).
