Elisaveta Alekumova is a Rostov-on-Don based graduate from Messiah University’s class of 2023 with a B.A. in theatre and an emphasis in directing, acting, and tech. Being from Russia, but growing up in the United Arab Emirates, then later studying and working in the States, exposed her to a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that have significantly influenced her worldview. This diverse upbringing has not only shaped her perspective but has also equipped her with the ability to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
Artistic Statement
I believe in the power of storytelling as a universal and unifying force that brings people together and fosters meaningful dialogue. It is this belief that drives my passion for theatre, which I consider to be an essential and potent medium.
Through the theatrical lens, I aspire to plant seeds of contemplation, wonder, and inspiration in the minds and hearts of my audience. I aim to provoke thought and stir emotions among my spectators, cast, and crew, encouraging them to ask questions they may have never considered before.
