About Me
I am an International physical actor-creator, and theatre facilitator born and raised in Greece. I trained in Physical Theatre at Dell’Arte International in California (USA), and in Acting at Dilos Drama School (GR).
My interest in physical comedy, mask movement, the archetypes, along with my experience in socially and culturally diverse environments have influenced my character building and storytelling approach.

I have worked as extra actor in films and commercials while I am in the cast of the last feature film by Thanos Tsavlis.
I have taught and directed youth theatre in Europe and I am a founding member of Creative Youthland, a non-profit organisation aiming to empower young people and engage communities through arts.
