Desi Ivanova
Theatre Director Writer Actor Theatre and short film ProducerI consider myself predominantly an actor and writer, yet as of late I feel mostly drawn to directing. I have a background in theatre directing- directing program through UTAS University and 4 years experience via the ensemble I co-founded in Los Angeles.
I find that I truly enjoy writing/producing my own work and co-creating with other artists/creatives.
My goal is to immerse myself in a diverse creators group to devise, write and direct theatre.
