Available to hire
Hi, I’m Yota Kallini, a theatre and performance training facilitator with a passion for mentoring young performers. I design inclusive, energizing sessions that help people move, think, and express themselves through drama, dance, and storytelling. I love building confidence and helping each young artist find their unique voice while fostering teamwork, creativity, and joy on stage. I’m equally at home in the rehearsal room or workshop, guiding participants to explore ideas, take risks, and enjoy the process of making theatre together.
I’m committed to nurturing a safe, supportive environment and mentoring new team members. I lead with clear communication, collaborate closely with musicians and teachers, and keep learning through team meetings and wider events. I’m dedicated to safeguarding, diversity, and wellbeing, and I’m excited to inspire others to shine both on and off the stage.
