These newly studied acting tools influenced not only my personal views on acting, but made me realise how interesting it is to integrate professional acting instruments into life of people who never studied acting, but who need performing skills in their careers and a form of an artistic getaway in life.
My life was always dedicated to art. Due to my parents' work, I ended growing up bilingual. Ever since I speak English just as much as I speak my native language, Russian. I grew up watching New Wave films, Neo realists and Tarkovskiy masterpieces. At the age of fifteen, I got my first camera. Me and my friends gathered together to make short films.
When I became of age, I started travelling, learning about different acting techniques and attending different acting schools around the world. I studied Method acting and Meisner, but then I was very lucky to meet my Acting teacher Joerg Andrees, who became like a guru in the world of Michael Tchekhov acting technique.
