Education

About me

After three years at the Central School of Speech and Drama, I was strongly encouraged to apply for a Master's to further develop my strong physicality. I thus gained a scholarship and completed my Master's in Physical theatre and performance at the Royal Holloway. My final Independent Project received enormous praise from both my audience and my examiners. I have since performed in ensemble and solo theatre pieces with moving reviews and in films, one of which shown in Cannes Festival. I thinkfeel exceptionally at home with Ancient Greek tragedy. In love with Aeschylus, Sophocles, Eurypides since time immemorial, I also teach Ancient Greek Drama and language (Ancient and Modern) for the department of Classics at the University of Reading with excellent peer and student evaluations for years now having graduated with distinction from Classics in Athens and London's UCL postgraduate MA and PhD with an IKY scholarship. I am looking always forward to more embodied acting challenges where my full potential and this widedeep range of assets can blossom further.
Additional skills:
I am a physically trained actress in Feldenkreis, Laban, Contact Improvisation and Polish Physical theatre with a passion for acting as archeology and music ("instinct with a spirit like a swan that rises and rises, on broad, slow wings, till it is lost to sight") and other such alchemies.
