About Me:

I am a Ukrainian interdisciplinary performance artist, actress, singer, and facilitator currently based in Denmark. My practice combines voice, text, song, performative reading, and elements of physical theatre to explore war, displacement, cultural memory, multilingualism, and the role of the artist in times of crisis. Alongside artistic work, I have initiated and facilitated cultural and socially engaged projects connected to migration, intercultural dialogue, and artistic responses to war.
Originally trained in musical and dramatic theatre, I worked in theatre and film in Kyiv before expanding my practice toward contemporary and research-based performance formats. In Denmark, I further developed my interest in interdisciplinary collaboration, physical theatre, and international artistic exchange.

My recent projects, developed across Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Wales, and Ukraine, focus on listening, testimony, identity, and building cultural connections through performance. My artistic language moves between theatre, vocal traditions, physical presence, and contemporary interdisciplinary art practices.
