Having years of experience as a performer and dancer since childhood in a wide variety of professional venues, Anna understands firsthand how effective the fluency of body language can be as a communication tool. As a student of languages and literatures at Kyiv National University of Taras Shevchenko, Anna dove deep into the practice of poetry. Her time in New York has further deepened her focus on different forms of communication as an essential skill for understanding cultural diversity. While continuing her studies in Communications at Baruch College and abroad in Madrid, Anna was inspired to found the nonprofit Locus29, a platform that unites people of diverse languages and cultural backgrounds through the mediums of theatre and film.
