I don't have formal acting education. I gained all my experience from fellow stage actors. Starting with Oleksii Dorychevsky in the "Wild Theatre." I also had the opportunity to work with Oleksandr Yarema in the same Wild Theatre. With Andriy Isaenko in the Drama and Comedy Theatre on the left bank of the Dnipro. I am also grateful to Dmytro Oliinyk (Drama and Comedy Theatre on the left bank of the Dnipro). I would also like to name Vitaliy Saliy. All these people guided me. They helped my acting to progress
