"Tess Degen, a theater artist originally from Berlin, found inspiration in stories of the Berlin Wall. Her piece, 'JUMP,' again produced in collaboration with other artists, tells the true story of Helga Knittel, who jumped from a second story window to find freedom in West Berlin while she was pregnant. 'This is a kind of resistance I don’t understand,' says Degen. 'That kind of jumping I can’t fathom. So I’m exploring what that means for us today.'"

“I’ve hired Tess a number of times over the last 5 years and I have found her to be professional, competent and most of all, she cares about each project she gets involved in. She learns her lines (somehow a rarity these days) and she brings her heart and mind to each role.”
