Who We Are

My Little Drama & Movement Lab is a creative space where movement and theater meet. We explore the synergy between somatic movement practices, Laban-Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS), and embodied acting techniques, creating a deeper connection between the body, expression, and artistic performance.

Who Is The Founder

Founder of My Little Drama and Movement Lab, Irina is a Certified Laban-Bartenieff Movement Analyst, Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, and Embodied Acting Coach. Her work lives at the intersection of movement, theater, and poetic expression — where the body becomes a site of transformation and self-discovery.
With over 20 years of experience in theater practice, movement research, and expressive arts, Irina brings a rare blend of depth and play into every lab she facilitates. Trained in LBMS and the Michael Chekhov technique, her approach invites performers and non-performers alike to explore the emotional and poetic power of their bodies.
In her workshops, participants are welcomed into a space that honors sensitivity, curiosity, and personal expression. Irina is especially passionate about helping people rediscover the joy of moving, connecting, and creating — whether for stage or for life.
