I’m a Russian-born, Pacific Northwest–based generative artist, actor, and director working at the intersection of movement, visual design, and emotionally grounded storytelling. Trained in the Stanislavsky system and as a performer in a Russian folk dance ensemble, I bring that rigor into experimental performance environments—blending physicality with immersive elements like sound, projection, and light.

My process is rooted in impulse and embodied listening—guided by the body and shaped by the space I’m in. I often treat the environment as an active participant in the work, building layered, atmospheric worlds where movement, material, and fragmented narrative unfold in intuitive rhythm. Rather than pursuing linear storytelling or polished perfection, I focus on cultivating live presence, vulnerability, and moments of connection.

I often draw inspiration from the craft of artists in other disciplines—designers, musicians, filmmakers, ceramicists—and their ways of shaping material, sound, or image. Depending on the project, these collaborations become deeply intertwined with my own process, influencing the emotional texture, rhythm, and visual world of each performance.

Recent projects include Harvest of Woman, a ritualistic performance and installation experience that reimagines archetypes of caregiving and myth, and Far From Home, supported by multiple Grow Grants and presented at Fertile Ground Festival. Whether developing original work or performing in others’, I strive to create non-verbal, sensory dialogue with my audience—inviting them not to observe from a distance, but to feel from within. I’m currently expanding this approach through larger-scale collaborations and site-sensitive performance environments.
