Ukraine
Oak of Live Connection
I am a young actor who sees theatre as a space for growth and self-discovery. For me, the stage is a place where I can honestly speak about important things and connect with people through emotions. I value teamwork, discipline, and creative exploration. I am interested in contemporary theatre forms, improvisation, and physical theatre, and I strive to keep improving and participating in international cultural projects.
The soil / the need
When I first got closer to theatre, I lacked self-confidence and the courage to openly express my thoughts. I was looking for a space where I could express emotions without fear of being misunderstood.
The first seed
A performance you watched.
Tell us about that first spark
I clearly remember my first performance on stage. Before going out, I was very nervous, but after the applause I felt proud and inspired. That was the moment I realized I wanted to continue developing in theatre.
Roots (people & experiences that shaped your path)
Teachers who supported me and my theatre team played a big role. Festivals and workshops were also important because they gave me new experiences and new people to learn from.
The trunk (what keeps you in theatre)
The opportunity for constant growth. Every role is a challenge that helps me become more confident and open. Theatre gives me energy and a strong sense of live connection with people.
Branches (future / desire)
In the future, I want to connect my life with theatre, possibly professionally. I aim to participate in international projects, work with different directors, and create performances with strong emotional impact.
Are you currently involved in cultural activities?
Yes, regularly.
If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? Why?
An oak — symbolizing strength and endurance, with deep roots and a continuing drive to grow upward and toward new opportunities.
