BFA Acting
Ekaterina is an Italian-Russian-Belgian artist who wants to share her creativity, passion, and love for the arts with the world, hoping that they’ll share it back with her. UBC productions include: TomorrowLove (Casey), Saint Joan of the Stockyards (various), The Very Book Indeed (Mrs. Jaggard/Cleopatra), and The Arsonists (Eisenring)
What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
Other than creating lifelong friends and colleagues, The Arsonists was my highlight at UBC. I got to play my favourite character I’ve ever played and I worked on a show that I felt was important artistically and politically. I had the greatest time with my cast-mates, worked with an incredible director, and felt overwhelming fulfilment from it.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
I see myself doing satires and political comedies. That’s where my interests lie. I would love to direct something (I don’t know what yet, but as soon as I find out I’ll let you all know).
What is your dream role?
Roxie from Chicago. I love that you don’t have to be the best singer or dancer to play her, you just need the passion for it. And she’s hilarious. Just get me into a blonde wig already!
Who is your favourite playwright?
I’m not sure I have one yet, but I love the styles of Jean-Paul Sartre and Anton Chekhov.
What are some of your special skills?
I’m an expert horse-rider. I can dance, play the piano, and speak four languages (English, French, Russian and Italian). I can debate you down.
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
Messi. The dog, NOT the football player.
