CV

A multidisciplinary creator with 15 years of experience in projects spanning Russia and the global stage, I have a multifaceted professional background in the realm of performing arts. 

My portfolio includes diverse forms such as site-specific, immersive, and multisensory performances, circus shows, and festivals, as well as contributions to film and multimedia exhibitions. My creative interests are particularly drawn to themes related to the transformative power of imagination, the exploration of human self-awareness, the dynamics of social mechanisms, and the quest for Truth and Beauty. I am also a passionate advocate for sustainable arts and entertainment.

One of my notable accomplishments includes participation in the 6th Ural Industrial Biennale of Contemporary Arts (2021), where I served as the Director and Co-Writer of the multimodal performance titled “Continuous Mapping.” This project was a collaborative effort with Yandex.Maps and involved a psychogeographic study that allowed me to reimagine the emotional landscapes of the city of Yekaterinburg.
