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.

The wish is wiggly today.
We dive into two controversial topics:
- You give your best performances when you’re tired. (Do you agree?)
I learned this over my three years at the Ilkhom Theatre in Tashkent, UZ. Our teachers would spend all day with us in school and then perform at night. Marathon days were standard. Somehow, in exhaustion, all the frills and falsities fall away and we hone in razor-like focus for the task at hand. Exhaustion offers us extreme presence.
- You do not have the right to be sick. (Hmmm… do you agree?)
Russian theatre school is hardcore. My classmates and I were told from the beginning: as part of the ensemble, you do not as an individual have the right to be sick. Be here, heal here.
I digested this notion because I was a good student (even with tortuous amounts of travel tummy). But these mantras aren’t stagnant - we can evolve with these ideas and shape them to our benefit. In the lens of 2020, we can use ALL that we’re feeling to create. Every shade of emotion is fuel. Actors are agents of change. Creativity heals.
I have a suggestion: we can still give the best performances of our lives in the last weeks of 2020. I am here with you. Are you with me?
