Teachingacting classes and the Motanka doll workshop in Germany
Theatre and tradition for children, adults, schools and communities. In Ukrainian or German.
Acting classes
I teach what I do on stage myself: listening to your partner, speaking so the back row hears you, and not fearing an audience. Classes are built on play, scene studies and voice and body work.
I trained as an actress and puppeteer. I teach acting and performing arts for children and adults, art at the cultural centre Trio in Oberhausen, and classes for children and teenagers at Circus Schnick-Schnack in Herne.
Motanka dolls
Workshop · Motanka doll
The motanka is a traditional Ukrainian talisman doll. It is not sewn but wound: no needle or scissors, knot by knot. In the workshop I talk about the symbols and everyone makes their own doll.
