"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."
John Steinbeck
Teaching
A multi-lingual variety artist, I bring together the worlds of clown, mime, and physical storytelling, translating stage techniques into practical tools for navigating life's beautiful chaos. My teaching practice explores the intersection of performance and personal growth, creating safe spaces where artistic experience naturally evolves out of therapeutic discovery and community connection.
Workshops
"Marina is an outstanding teacher."
I participated in Marina’s workshop at DNE Dance Camp 2024 and, of the four or five offerings I attended, it was absolutely my favorite! Both the workshop content and Marina’s teaching were so impactful that I can easily recall nearly every part nine months later.
Marina is an outstanding teacher. Her exercises were both accessible and challenging, often serving a dual purpose (such as presenting a foundational concept established in a warm up). She generally let the activities and discussions speak for themselves but knew the exact moments to add her voice to take us to the next level.
The workshop itself was ambitious, well structured, and has had a lasting effect on me. The objective was to teach the participants a movement technique intended to make our dance more beautiful and meaningful while simultaneously improving our self knowledge.
I cannot recommend Marina enough! Whatever she wants, give it to her - and make sure you attend whatever she offers!
