I am a Vancouver-based stunt performer and specialty weapon manipulation artist with over 25 years of professional performance experience. I completed 7 years of formal training at the Kyiv Academy of Circus and Variety Arts, where I developed advanced object control, precision, timing, and spatial awareness.
I graduated from the actor’s program at the Ukrainian Abstar Film School at Dovzhenko National Studio, combining physical performance skills with dramatic training for on-camera work.
I have performed and coached juggling with Cirque du Soleil, gaining international stage experience and maintaining high standards of discipline and performance consistency.
I completed anti-terror military training within the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where I developed structured tactical awareness, disciplined weapons handling, and the ability to operate effectively under extreme conditions. I also trained in hand-to-hand combat during my military service and with the Ukrainian Hand-to-Hand Combat Federation.
Additionally, I trained in Muay Thai at the White Lotus School in Ukraine, enhancing my striking technique, endurance, and fight realism for on-camera performance.
In Vancouver, I completed professional weapons training at Academie Duello, specializing in rapier, longsword, bow, and crossbow. I am currently training in wire work at Underground Circus, developing skills for aerial and suspended stunt work in action and fantasy productions.
The combination of classical fencing, tactical training, competitive combat experience, and aerial coordination allows me to perform convincingly in historical, action, and contemporary fight sequences.
My specialties include: blade/knife juggling, LED and fire prop manipulation, juggling balls, rings, and clubs, precision object manipulation, team-based juggling with synchronized passing and movement, cinematic fight performance, historical and modern weapons handling, and executing complex stunts with full coordination for live performances and on-camera work.
