Ingrid Sattes

Ingrid Sattes started classic ballet at the age of four. At 14 she switched to ballroom dancing, and four years later to Modern and African dance, studying with Yessica Ivanson and Ismael Ivo. Ingrid Sattes is also a musician. She studied guitar for 8 years, and she was a founding member of the Recrash W avantgarde-pop group from 1991-95, where she played keyboards. In 1994 the group released their CD 'Helluvatime'. Besides that, Ingrid Sattes studied psychology and finished with a doctor's degree. In 1992 she took acting classes in Zurich and Berlin, and two years later co-founded the Off-Off-Bühne Zurich, soon one of the most interesting and most awarded free theater groups in German-tongue theater. The Off-Off-Bühne was open to cinematic concepts, and so it happened that Ingrid Sattes made her first notable appearance on film with her Off-Off-colleagues, playing the leads in 'Nacht der Gaukler' and 'Dr. Younami's Couch'. In the past two years she shifted her focus to appearance in TV films and serials, but continues to work for the stage.
