Arina is a theatre practitioner with an international background in performance and training. Born in Saint Petersburg, she earned a Bachelor (Hons) degree in Drama and Screen Acting, where her work was strongly influenced by Stanislavski’s system.

Since 2019, Arina has lived in the UK to further her training. She graduated with a Master of Arts in Acting from the University of East London in 2021. Since January 2022, she has worked across various British and American productions, sharing the screen with acclaimed actors including Halle Berry, Richard E. Grant, Penn Badgley, and Ariana Grande, among others. Her time in London provided both creative freedom and the opportunity to develop her passion for teaching and actor training.
Arina’s professional development also includes the Acting for Screen Workshop at the New York Film Academy (2017), where she trained with Peter Allen Stone and Anna Cianciulli. She further expanded her theatrical practice by working with Julian Eggerickx on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot at Cours Florent in Paris.
