About Me

CURRENT PROJECT
Stilt-walking in Istanbul in February 2015
https://www.facebook.com/events/801273473300908/
Hey! We are a group of Russian stilt-walkers, gathering from different cities for workshop and and street theater project. Do you know, where is now better to perform in Istanbul? It's not so clear from the distance, if is it possible to perform in the street in Turkey? I played with mask theater in Istanbul in winter several years ago, and it was quite good. Does anything changed, and if yes, can you describe, what exactly?
Thanks!

CURRENT MISSION
To bring something incredible and curious in Life!

ABOUT ME
Now I'm a performer in theater company "SjeShosu", St. Petersburg (http://show.hodulya.ru) . Also I'm interested in curious self-developing activities.
Before for several years I was a participant of "Mr. PEJO's Wondering Dolls" carnival theater, playing in mask and work as sound-man and actor.
Before I mostly worked with fire and do things around it - make equipment, dance and train some other ways in the "Phoenix" fire-working group. http://fenix-fire.ru

I'm fond of mountain traveling but last years do it not so often.
I like logical games, played chess in past, now play go.
geologist by training, an actor by avocation.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is more then Game.
