Isabel Dornheim, born in 2002 in Venezuela and raised in Germany and Mexico, had an early passionate interest for acting and theatre. In her childhood years and as a teenager, she spent countless happy moments participating in school theatre groups at the British and German international schools she attended, as well as the famous acting academy for children “Niños en Acción” in Mexico City´s iconic Coyoacan district, only steps away from Frida Kahlo's home.
After completing her IB Diploma at the British-Mexican Lancaster School, she moved to London to start her acting career with a one-year course in screen acting at the MetFilm School, under the invaluable guidance of actor Arkie Reece.
Shortly after, Berlin was calling, where she graduated in a Higher Education course in Screen Acting at the Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology, and is currently finishing her Bachelor of Arts in Screen Acting at the MetFilm School Berlin, besides attending a growing number of engagements in Germany and all over Europe.
Isabel can act in German, Spanish, and English.
She is thrilled to receive interesting and creative acting offers, and can quickly relocate anywhere within Germany, Europe and North America.
Besides her acting, Isabel loves activities such as stage-fighting, horseback riding, kickboxing, dancing and modelling; and just for her own pleasure, she loves to sing (mezzo-soprano).
