Public Speaking
Actress Elena Sanina has been teaching acting and public speaking for over fifteen years. She has inspired many people to find their own voice and unlock their creative potential. The foundation of her experience is working with classical poetry.
She has a deep understanding of literary heritage, possesses the art of interpretation, and conveys the subtle nuances of poetic text to the listener. Elena does not simply read poems; she communicates the author's intent, infusing the text with life and relevance.
Starting in 2025, Elena Sanina is creating a joint project with Oksana Glazunova titled "Philosophical Steamboat" in Bulgaria—a series of literary evenings about outstanding figures in culture and art of the Russian Empire and the USSR who were repressed or forced to emigrate due to their views and beliefs.
