This year, 2025, I am 39 years old and have been dancing for over 30 of them. I hold a Master’s degree in Choreography from Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts (2008).
I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, and have participated in international art projects as a performer, collaborating with choreographers from Ukraine, Poland, Germany, the USA, Sweden, South Korea, and more. I have also organized educational programs and contemporary dance festivals. Since 2022, after the beginning of the full-scale war, I have been temporarily living in Savona, Italy, with my husband and our son.(2025)
Artistic view: “I believe the body is a source of deep knowledge, and dance is a language through which we can interact with it — to listen, explore, and heal. For me, dance is a way to engage in an honest conversation with myself and the world. I work with personal experience because it allows me to touch something universal. When I explore my own vulnerability, I am in fact searching for a language to understand broader processes.” (2025)
