Mentor Katja Mack

Katja Mack’s vision is shaped by a deep conviction in the transformative power of artistic expression to bring people together, unlock hidden potential and inspire lasting change. She initiates and creates environments in which artistic skills can flourish. As Founder & Executive Director of the TALENT ACADEMY at Europa-Park, Creative Director of the immersive fine-dining experience Eatrenalin, and as a show producer and Head of Creative Development Entertainment at the Europa-Park Resort, she continually sets new standards and shapes the world of entertainment.

Her passion for talent development, production and interdisciplinary creativity makes her a driving force in the field of live entertainment and performance art. Katja Mack has further been honoured with the 'Live Entertainment Excellence Spirit Award' for her outstanding commitment and her formative influence on the industry.

The TALENT ACADEMY Europa-Park was founded in 2014 by Katja Mack and has since established itself as one of Germany’s leading institutions for nurturing young artistic talent.

With over 2,000 square metres of floor space and eight modern, professionally equipped studios, the academy provides the ideal conditions for a diverse and high-quality range of courses, all under one roof. More than 150 courses in the fields of dance, acrobatics, music, art and mindset take place every week. Over 30 internationally experienced, highly qualified coaches support members on their individual creative journeys.

Goal-oriented training is one of the institution’s key characteristics. In addition to its regular course programme, the Academy offers its members a wide range of opportunities to gain valuable stage experience. Furthermore, the TALENT ACADEMY organises its own events and workshops and successfully participates in national and international competitions and circus festivals.

Members have also gained extensive experience in front of the camera in TV productions, for example at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, 'Superkids', 'Das Supertalent', 'Spain’s Got Talent', 'Romania’s Got Talent', 'Little Big Stars' and many more. Furthermore, a 13-year-old acting member of the TALENT ACADEMY took on one of the leading roles in the 29th season of the KiKA series 'Schloss Einstein'.

These performances and experiences not only enhance artistic quality but also boost self-confidence, team spirit and personal expressiveness.

With its holistic approach, which combines artistic and creative training, personal development and professional stage experience, the TALENT ACADEMY offers both young people and adults a unique platform to discover their potential, develop it in a targeted manner and showcase it at the highest level.

In addition to nurturing talent, Katja Mack uses her creative expertise to shape the entertainment formats and immersive experiences at the Europa-Park Resort. She is in charge of Creative Development Entertainment and, amongst other things, directs numerous shows. Furthermore, she develops innovative stage formats that continually enhance the entertainment offering.

Her work goes far beyond traditional productions – she creates immersive worlds that stir emotions, nurture young talent and leave a lasting impression on visitors.
