About

Born in Sweden to Russian/Cuban parents but raised the UK. I have since lived, performed and studied in Bristol, London and Toronto. Despite initial academic pursuits in Aerospace Engineering I quickly sold my soul to artistic pursuits upon graduating.

My work has taken me across Europe and North America on stage, screen, heritage sites, fringe festivals, schools and more.

2024 saw my TV debut as Misha in ‘We Were The Lucky Ones‘ on Hulu and as a solo clown with my 007 inspired show ‘Pull My Goldfinger‘.

My professional training began in 2018 with a residency at the Bristol Old Vic as part of their Made In Bristol programe, training under David Glass (David Glass Ensemble), Sally Cookson (Jane Ayre, National Theatre) and many more in physical and devised theatre. After developing work in Bristol as a faciltator, deviser and actor I eventually moved to London to gain my MA in Acting at ArtsEd, under the guidance of Simone Coxall (Shakespeare Globe) and Richard Neale (Open Door).

Since then, I have pursued further training in improv at Hoopla, The Free Association and Bad Dog Theatre Company, and tutelage in clown and bouffon from Aitor Basauri and Toby Park (SpyMonkey Creation School), Chad Damiani (Stand Up and Clown), Nathaniel Justiniano (Naked Empire Bouffon Company), Deanna Fleysher (Don’t Call It Clown), Isaac Kessler and Ken Hall (2-Man No Show), and Henry Maynard (Flabbergast Theatre).

In conjunction with my life performing I have also taught in a variety of contexts: assisting the Young Company at Bristol Old Vic, hosting Rudolf Laban workshops for professional artists at the Sweet Action Theatre, Toronto, introducing BA Acting students to clown at Leicester College, and clown for professional comedians at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
