Olga Kravtsova is a Portland-based interdisciplinary performance artist, performer, and movement director. Her work develops through embodied action, material, light, character, sound, and space. She often works with simple physical conditions and objects, allowing relationships to shift through repetition, duration, and the particular conditions of a room.

Recent works include The Place I’ve Never Been, Harvest of Woman, KEEPERS, and The Braided One. Her work has been developed and presented through Hand2Mouth Theatre, New Expressive Works, CoHo Theatre, PICA, Performance Works Northwest, BASE: Experimental Arts + Space, and other contexts in Portland, Seattle, and New York, with support from the Regional Arts & Culture Council.

Kravtsova holds an MFA in Acting from the University of Washington and trained in acting at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts (GITIS), with additional training in movement, Butoh, physical performance, and stage combat. Her background in acting and movement continues to shape how she works with action, circumstance, attention, physical transformation, and the relationship between performer and audience.
