About me

My name is Athena

This site is a reflection of my journey—both as an individual artist and a dedicated company member.

There’s nothing quite like the moment of stepping onto the stage, knowing that every ounce of hard work and dedication has led to this performance. I’ve had the privilege of showcasing my skills in a variety of productions and competitions, and I bring that same passion and commitment to every new project.

From choreography to costume design, each performance presents a fresh creative opportunity. I’m always striving to push my artistic boundaries, challenge myself in new ways, and continue growing as a performer.

Level 3 Extended diploma in Performing Arts (UAL)
Hereford College of Arts

Pursuing a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts at Hereford College of Arts (HCA) has deepened my passion for performance, inspiring me to push my limits and refine my craft. Over the past year, I have undergone intensive training in contemporary techniques, including Graham, Cunningham, and release, strengthening both my technical ability and expressive range.
At HCA, I have also explored physical and immersive theatre, delving into the work of Punchdrunk and their innovative approach to audience engagement. Their ability to challenge theatrical conventions—placing spectators outside their comfort zones and crafting unique, individual experiences—has profoundly shaped my understanding of performance.
