Ηello! I am a  performer , theater divisor, writer, director, clown, mover and seminar coordinator from Athens. I studied in London International School of Performing Arts and Ecole Phlippe Gaulier.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE JOURNEY

​
Since little I was writing theater plays, creating characters and directing other kids in my plays, doing dancing lessons, sports, music classes, history, philosophy, imagining to change the world and being silly.
In 2008 I decided to attend ''Akis Davis'' drama school in Athens, where I had the opportunity to be tought by Roula Pateraki and Ester Andre Gonzalez. Two years later I left Greece to go to UK  to study psychology. A friend had given me '' the poetic body '' by Jacque Lecoq two days before. As soon as I arrived to UK I read the first few pages, I knew it! I had to go to that school. I contacted my teacher, Ester,student of Lecoq and I was advised to attend  London International School Of Performing Arts, where his students continued his work with the spirit of evolution. One year later, in 2011 I was in London  studying in L.I.S.P.A. . The neutral mask, playfulness, the poetic body, music, paintings, colors, animals, comedia del 'Arte masks, characters, devising theater, melodrama,chorus , Grotesque, Boufons, the Space Lab (based on the Laboratory of movement), using materials to create theater,  and the most magical of all ... Clown! Clown was the last module of the two year program. When I presented myself with my clown costume alone in front of the class, a moment of epiphany took place. This was what I was looking for!


In the school I regained confidence as a writer, director and actor.
During this time I am writing, learning aerial silks, I attended seminars with Philippe Gaulier, appearing in Cabarets , doing street theater performances, teaching, volunteering , attending theatre festivals.
