My process begins with impulse and embodied listening — movement before language, sensation before meaning. I treat the environment as an active collaborator, shaping layered worlds where gesture, material, and fragmented narrative unfold in intuitive rhythm. Meaning arises through accumulation, rupture, and the silences in between. I invite audiences into this undercurrent, awakening archetypal memory that lives in the body before words return.

I draw from Russian folk dance, folklore, Stanislavsky training, and Butoh’s rigor of presence — reshaped into forms that are personal and unconventional. As an immigrant, I carry an embodied sense of thresholds, adaptation, and displacement. These themes run through my practice, surfacing as rhythm, structure, and tone. As a neurodivergent artist, I organize experience through heightened sensation, nonlinear memory, and emotional logic rather than fixed structure.

Collaboration is central to my work. I partner with musicians, designers, and filmmakers to build immersive sensory dramaturgies that are intimate yet elemental. Voice and text often emerge through the body, shaped by movement before taking form in language.

At the heart of my practice is a desire to create spaces of shared perception — where the body remembers, stories surface unexpectedly, and audiences enter a field of transformation that belongs to all of us. I keep the work open like a threshold: an invitation for those who feel resonance to step in, to begin a dialogue, to make something together.
