Theatre Maker Performer Mask Maker Theatre Director Visual Artist

I (she/they) am a Romanian interdisciplinary artist, with focus on theatre, mixed media visual arts, poetry, and a serious case of indecisiveness. After graduating with a BA in World Performance from East 15 Acting School, I've been exploring themes such as immigration, diaspora and folklore, as well as toying with a morbid, but contemporary fascination with the end of the world. I am interested in developing my practice as a theatre maker and gaining more experience in the hands-on fields of theatre design (set, props, costume, puppets & mask).
