Life

After graduating from high school, Dopler went to study in Vienna. She studied language arts for three years at the University of Applied Arts Vienna . With her Bachelor of Arts degree, she began a master’s degree in theater, film and media studies at the University of Vienna in 2014 . She is a participant in the two-year course Forum Text 2018–2020 at the Drama Forum Graz. In 2019 she also took part in the Residency for Emerging Playwrights at London's Royal Court Theater .

In the meantime, Dopler published her dramatic texts in Austrian literary magazines such as kolik - magazine for literature and Die Rampe as well as on radio for example on Ö1 and Radio Oberösterreich . With the texts she submitted, she obtained numerous working grants, including drama scholarships from the Austrian Federal Chancellery in 2014, 2016 and 2018, the literary scholarship of the City of Linz in 2015, the talent promotion bonus of the State of Upper Austria in 2015 and the drama scholarship of the Literar-Mechana 2017.

Her debut piece Was wir Wollen was nominated for the 2015 Osnabrück Dramatist Prize as a dramatic text. It wasn't actually premiered until November 2017. In terms of content, it is about the conflicts and negotiations between three very different siblings who have inherited their hippie mother's Spanish house.

The second dramatic work, Our Blue Eyes , premiered in October 2018, questions the usual frivolous expectations of a young middle-class couple who get in the way of the "dream of a rural home", such as a group of refugees in the same place. It's not a comedy. In 2019, the play won third place in the Waldorf 100 drama competition, endowed with 5000 euros. The winning piece texts are already immediately available to Waldorf schools for student performances for the 2019/2020 school year and henceforth license-free.

With her third major drama text The White Village , the author won the main prize of 10,000 euros at the 36th Heidelberger Stückemarkt in 2019 . On board a cruise ship on the Amazon, a man and a woman meet who had a love affair years ago. They appraise each other, both are careerists and trained self-optimizers. In dialogue they show their fickle inner life as "emotion zombies in turbo-capitalism". The eponymous “white village” is a dream. As a winning drama, the play gets a guaranteed premiere on the opening evening of the next Heidelberg Stückemarkt on April 24, 2020.

Teresa Dopler lives and works in Vienna .
