PETRA KOCMANOVÁ - BIOGRAPHY

Petra was born in 1983. She gained her first theatre experience as seven-year-old in the company Ty Já-Tr which was a part of the Radar Theatre and whose member Petra feels to be up to this day. After passing the school-leaving exam at the grammar school Nad Štolou in Prague, Petra studied languages and andragogy (the science that studies education of adults) and she worked in an HR company. Nevertheless, Petra submitted an application for the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno (JAMU) where she spent several inspiring years along with Milan Schejbal, Lukáš Riegr, Roman Groszmann, and Eva Jelínková in the end.

Petra graduated in 2010 and guest-starred in theatres all around the Czech Republic (East Bohemian Theatre Pardubice, BuranTeatr in Brno, Silesian Theatre in Opava). After ten years of engagement, and with the Thalia Award nomination, Petra leaves the Aréna Chamber Theatre so she can continue with our drama company.
