Acting skills

During last year, I took part in improvisation and emotional expressiveness classes as preparation for my first performance, “My Core II”. I learned the basic rules of improvisation while practicing active listening and engaging responsively in interactions with scene partners.

Also, I went on a 6-day youth exchange to Germany, where there were a lot of theatre workshops about connections and intercultural dialogue. From that experience, I gained confidence that I could lead the group with attention to each individual and use all my creativity when it’s necessary.

Currently, I am actively participating in one more session about improvisation. Another opportunity to get to know new people and create something meaningful together.

Dance skills

For two years, I consistently took part in classes from different styles: hip hop, jazz-funk, girly choreo, contemporary, high heels, vogue, and so on. This experience made me feel more confident and liberated in my body. While working on my body, my mind changed a lot. I have learned how to express my feelings and emotions through movements and how to control my body. I also took part in improvisation dance classes while preparing for the performance “My Core II”. I like it a lot and will now continue to explore movement without strict rules.

Music skills

I studied piano and guitar at a music school for nine years, learning all the basics, playing in the theatre, and participating in the choir. I’ve also taken part in a lot of competitions singing individually.

Now I am one of the organists in my church, and at the same time, I am singing in our university choir.

Other information

I am an active person. It’s much more likely that I will say “yes” to a new project than “no”. I feel that I am on my path when I am engaged in something meaningful. I like to immerse myself in my work with all my attention and concentration. I am curious about exploring different things and learning more and more. It’s a normal state for me when I have a lot of ideas in my head.

Also, I am more extroverted than introverted. I am deeply interested in building connections with empathy, warmth, and acceptance. People play one of the key roles in my life.
Currently, I’m studying psychology at university.At the same time, I have a lot of hobbies. Really a lot: theatre, dancing, playing guitar, piano, drums, singing, playing tennis, yoga, gym, reading books, journaling, photography, teaching piano, snowboarding, playing chess, collecting postcards, traveling, learning new languages, and so on. I’m trying to find my own place in this world and explore as much as I can.
