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.

"Existing is a constant state of overcoming if you want to grow” - Tyler Polumsky
Before we jump in, take stock: where do you find feelings of freedom onstage or onscreen?
*If you haven’t listened to Part I, we suggest doing so first!*
Part II gets even juicier as Tyler and I explore the tendencies, techniques, energies and ethos between Eastern and Western acting. The way artists are raised and the ways they’re expected to create in the world.
You’ll learn about:
- Cerebral tendencies in Western art vs. the visceral world-building in the East (the itch, the breeze, the scent, the dust)
- Analysis vs. études (you’ll learn what an étude is) and how études become building blocks to the visceral worlds we create onstage
- Why it’s so important to know yourself as an individual in art
- How Western theatre & schooling isn’t built to ‘take your time’ but excels in production
- How Western training gears actors up to work authentically in cinema, but the same toolbelt doesn’t translate to the stage
- How the Russian method curates their schooling process in mindful way that supports young actors to become artists
- How Russian masters teach during the day and put their methods into action onstage at night
- Why no Ilkhom student does a monologue until their 6th semester (the end of their second year)
- How the business of the artist isn’t to engage the intellect, but the heart and soul
And SO much more. You’ll also discover why Ilkhom students aren’t allowed to walk through the Ilkhom playhouse, what I did for my invisible object étude and what Tyler is most excited about creating right now!
