ABOUT KSENIA
I’m a queer, neurodivergent theatre-maker based in London, born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia. My passion for movement began at age four when I begged my parents to take me to ballroom dance classes. After nearly a decade of dancing, I transitioned to theatre, where I discovered a way to blend movement with storytelling.
I run movement workshops for actors and non-actors, encouraging intuitive physicality and expressive freedom. Drawing from techniques by Michael Chekhov and Jacques Lecoq, I explore movement as a psychophysical practice that is both safe and sustainable.
Currently, I am directing a play about two young women navigating the world of queer dating, which will be performed at The Golden Goose Theatre (May 20–22) and The Hope Theatre as part of Camden Fringe (August 7–10).
About my Teaching and Facilitating
As an engaging and experienced workshop leader, I specialize in drama workshops for adults, helping participants develop confidence, communication skills, and self-expression through storytelling, movement, and play. My interactive and immersive sessions are designed to ignite curiosity and joy in everyone involved.
One of my greatest strengths is creating safe and empowering environments where individuals feel comfortable taking creative risks. Whether they are seasoned performers or complete beginners, I ensure that each participant feels encouraged, valued, and capable of reaching their full potential.
Drawing primarily from Lecoq, Feldenkrais, and Michael Chekhov techniques, I am always eager to explore new approaches that enhance the learning experience. My commitment to lifelong learning allows me to adapt my methods continuously, ensuring that every workshop is enriching and tailored to the needs of my participants.
I believe in inclusive and accessible teaching. I have worked with diverse groups, including individuals on the autism spectrum and those with limited physical abilities. Through kinesthetic, auditory, and visual techniques, I ensure that every learner feels included and engaged.
Adaptable, reliable, and team-oriented, I thrive in dynamic environments and can easily adjust to different needs while delivering high-quality, structured sessions. I value collaboration and love being part of a team that shares my enthusiasm for making learning exciting and accessible for everyone.
