Hi! I’m Olha Kryvosheieva — an actress, acting teacher, and coach with over 10 years of experience bringing stories, ideas, and people to life.

My journey has taken me from university lecture halls to international theater festivals, from rehearsal rooms to creative projects across Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, Russia, Austria, Germany, and Norway.

 

For eight years, I taught at the Kharkiv National University of Arts (named after I. P. Kotlyarevsky), and later at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin and the Babelsberg Konrad Wolf Film University in Potsdam. Alongside my teaching, I earned a PhD in Philosophy, became a member of the Jura Soyfer Society in Vienna, and have been part of international collaborations that explore the power of performance to connect cultures.

 

As a certified business and life coach (EALC), I combine research-based acting techniques with coaching methods to help people unlock their potential. I’ve authored a dissertation, academic articles, and a monograph on play-based actor training — but my greatest joy comes from working directly with people, helping them build confidence, expand emotional intelligence, and rediscover their inner freedom.

 

Over the past five years, I’ve led more than 1,000 workshops and masterclasses, reaching thousands of people worldwide. Whether on stage, in the classroom, or in a coaching session, my work is about sparking imagination, deepening self-awareness, and opening new possibilities.

 

I work in English, Ukrainian, and Russian — and I’m always open to meaningful collaborations that inspire growth and creativity.
