I have amazing news!!! no pictures though.

Some time ago I landed a speaking part in a Hospital Reconstruction Drama, the filming was happening earlier today and I can announce that I was playing Irina Cook, a mother of a very ill child. The film should be available online later this year.

I feel amazed!!! The filming day was fabulous, the whole team of Red Goat Productions are such a nice people 🙂 And it’s so good to act!!!

“A Life in Art” art film is out, you can watch me dancing in it at the beginning, I am to symbolize a newborn, a fresh soul.

I was modeling Asian Bridal jewellery for Studio Q

I had a pleasure to shoot with a fantastic Photographer Shaun Hodge , for the new dance company I am working with – Street Cabaret. Our first gigs soon to come!!!!! 🙂

Recently I shot a scene for a “Life in art” movie, featuring me dancing, along other great actors.

Movie was made by Kadeem Henry.

Also sometimes I am working as a Supporting Artists in some good movies, it can be a really interesting job, it’s a bit of acting, lots of waiting at times but you get to see amazing sets and big actors at work. Here are few pictures from movies I have done:

      “Guardians of the Galaxy”

      “Pride”

On the 14th of March I performed our piece “Transform” with Transform Contemporary Dance Company on U-Dance Loop 2015 dance festival in Chatham. Choreography was made by Mary Forbes.

CRIMSON

Through bursting passion and sexuality three females are telling a story of their mutual entanglement. They explore possibilities of different connections within their complex and perhaps neurotic relationships. In a series of episodes inspired by writings of Bruno Schulz we take a plunge into some dark and less visited places within female psyche. This world is fundamentally flawed. Something, or maybe, someone is missing there. Ordinary turns into grotesque. Is it only innocent playfulness or real devouring feminine desire? Can cruelty effectively serve as a remedy to boredom and frustration? Or will it always accelerate the spiral of pain?

Created and performed by:  Neti-Neti Thearte Company – Dominika Dwernicka, Tatiana Judycka, Zuza Tehanu

Music: Klezmer inspired own compositions, Johann Sebastian Bach, Alva noto

Premiere : “In the Flesh” , Goldsmith University Theater
