About me
Hi, I’m Olga, originally from Łódź, Poland. I’ve been living in Edinburgh, Scotland, for over ten years and I’m currently a second-year HND Acting and Performance student at Edinburgh College.
Growing up near the Łódź Film School, I was surrounded by the magic of cinema from an early age, which sparked my love for storytelling and character-driven work. As a performer, I’m drawn to dramatic, naturalistic work that focuses on emotional truth and psychological realism.
While I’m highly inspired by film and on-camera acting, my training in stage performance has given me a strong foundation in physical work, movement, and embodied expression.
I’m always looking for opportunities to explore new characters and stories, and to create performances that feel honest, nuanced, and emotionally engaging.
