Testimonials
Having studied with Oleg, I found him to be a sensitive, intelligent and inspiring acting coach. I feel that he has always been receptive and very easy to work with.
Michael Fassbender
Actor and Former StudentI had a wonderful experience working [on Russian dialogue] with Oleg. He was able to help me with sounds and inflections but also had a great understanding of character as well. So by the time I was on set I was able to play the part and not just to say the words correctly. His help and sensitivity to the actor’s process was greatly appreciated.
Kevin Bacon
ActorOleg's pedagogical approach — open, student-focused, supportive and the originality of his artistic vision have made him an inspirational and highly appreciated tutor and researcher.
Professor Vladimir Mirodan
Former Principal of Drama Centre London &Former Principal and Director of Drama at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama
I observed my classmates and myself surrendering entirely to the power of devising stories through our body investment and through pleasure. Every person looked freer, more confident and liberated. Everyone was smiling and enjoying the present moment. Everyone became a child again, seriously playing and devising stories via bodywork. [Oleg's] masterclass was quite simply an amazing and inspiring experience.
