Acting

I've worked as an actor since 2010. I currently commit to only a handful of screen / stage / video game projects each year, with a particular fondness for playing against type.

I personally curate my slate and schedule, so enquiries can be sent to me directly.

Research

I commenced a PhD at The University of Queensland in January 2026. My research centres on peak performance and holistic well-being training for actors.

I hold an MPhil in Sport Psychology, a BA (First Class Hons) in Acting, and a Certificate (Distinction) in Acting & Musical Theatre.

Coaching

I've been Head Coach at The Actor's Dojo since 2019, where we provide pioneering, evidence-informed coaching to actors and drama schools around the world.

Our coaching schedule is almost at capacity for the remainder of 2026, but new enquiries can always be directed to Anastasia.

Miscellanea

I started a dance learning journey in January, and have recorded it (almost) weekly since.

I started learning Japanese this year, too. γ‚ˆγ‚γ—γγŠγ­γŒγ„γ—γΎγ™οΌ

I travel a few times a year for work / research / because I find travel so enriching. Rome, Kyoto, Istanbul, and Athens have been my favourite destinations thus far.
