Portrait Jeanette Sena Mühlmann

Jeanette Mühlmann aka Sena

Published Author and Multi Media Artist, Member of ASCAP, NYWIFT, Writers Guild of America – and last but not least: Fashion Designer

“Born with it” SENA designed costumes at an early age for the children plays she wrote and directed – performed by the kids from the neighborhood in Munich Germany where she grew up. As a teenager Sena started designing her own clothes and quickly became a trendsetter.

Stepping Stones

LMU University Munich: studies of political and social sciences, journalism; followed by a profound acting career in German Theater, on stage and behind the scenes: Co-Founder, Co- Director and Lead Actress of the legendary independent and awarded Theater Group “Magic Flute” – “Die Zauberflöte” – originated in Munich Germany (1980 -1987)

  • from Private Theaters to State Theaters to international tours and festivals all over German Speaking Europe;
  • Translator of plays from Tennessee Williams, Mark Medoff, John Osborne, Joe Orton and Arthur Miller,
  • Awarded Spoken Word Artist and Poetry Slam Winner)

Back then Jeanette Sena Mühlmann also started as Costume Designer for all her own costumes in Theater, TV and Film – and also for costumes of other actresses. Sena studied her costume design craft “ learning by doing”. She worked closely with skilled tailors of state and city theaters and started creating exceptional patterns that worked for the stage – garments on stage have to be much more durable and resistant than street or couture wear and have to fit meticulously well because of extreme movements and extreme wear and tear for as many as 300 plus performances.
