The wish. From a Russian theatre school in Uzbekistan to performing on 42nd Street, my life, onstage, onscreen and off, has been led by the WISH. As an International Performer, Russian-trained Actress (mhmm, in Uzbekistan), Published Writer, Certified Dream Awake EFT Tapping Coach (250 hrs), Reiki Practitioner, and Lifelong Creative Rebel, I am on a mission to help you step into your full-blown artistic expression (+ attract soul-aligned success) while building the ensemble. Think of this podcast as your laboratory. Consider me your scene partner. And in this space, let your impulses run free. Each week, you’ll tap into unconventional tips, tools, techniques and the sacred connection to the partner. Whether an intimate solo episode or an inspiring chat with a guest, you’ll learn to transmute doubt into desire, transform self-sabotage into self-love, skyrocket your impact on the industry (without selling your soul), and create the #actorslife you dream of (on your terms). Turn down your brain. Trust your body. Lead with the wish. Together, let’s take the leap from Actor to Artist.

Are you an actor or an artist?
When I say artist in the US or the West, a lot of folx think that I am referring to a fine artist (painter, sculpture, etc...) but actually, I am speaking of a dramatic artist.
I only learned this when I ventured across the world to the basement of the Ilkhom Theatre in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and gave myself over to becoming a dramatic artist.
Suddenly, my whole world changed: I no longer waited for someone to give me permission, I was the point of power, me, and I learned that my unique wishes/fears/curiosities, were the seeds of truth to create from onstage. ANYTHING was game. And I was encouraged to hone and refine my skills daily, because each time I showed up mattered.
As a dramatic artist, I moved...
- From a getter (actor) to a giver (artist).
- From wanting quick results (actor) to honoring the process (artist).
- From reciting a piece of text text (actor) to concocting an entire rich life underneath the text (artist).
- From rehearsing when I have a job (actor) to tuning myself daily (artist).
- From waiting for a role (actor) to creating the role (artist)!
And SO much more!
When I was directed to change my focus at the Ilkhom (and was given the space + support to do so), my entire creative life changed. I felt empowered and excited. Every detail of life was now an opportunity to utilize and create from. I felt more artistically challenged and connected than ever before!
And I want this same transformation for you. There’s room for all of us to succeed, and we can uplift our partners in the process. Being a dramatic artist is a daily practice. What small detail can you implement today to help you take that leap, from actor to artist?
