Valentina has performed at the Et Cetera Theatre in Camden and the Hens and Chickens Theatre in Islington.

In 2023, she performed GHOSTED at the Hens and Chickens Theatre – portraying Phoebe, a 16 years old girl (and 24 years *time jumps*) – who was in a journey to find herself after losing her mother at a young age. GHOSTED is a new short play, written by Jasper Cresdee-Hyde.

Earlier that year, she performed DEATH AT THE TABLE at the Et Cetera Theatre – portraying Zia, a woman who just committed suicide without realising that she did. In the aftermath, she met two other women who were in a similar situation with her, together they dive into their reality and exploring the meaning of life. DEATH AT THE TABLE is a new short play, written by Gurkiran Kaur.

Valentina first trained in Newcastle Theatre Royal, where she did Script Reading class in 2019 and Acting class in 2020.

In 2022, she wanted to have a more intensive Acting training, and decided to train with CityLit, obtaining an Accredited Foundation in Drama. During her time in CityLit, she has been involved in various plays, such as Earthquake in London, Reasons to be Pretty, and Twelfth Night. She is fully trained in Voice, Movement, including Laban Movement, and Stage Acting with main focus on Stanislavski.

In 2023, she developed interests in stage combat, and went to train with the British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat (BASSC), obtaining her certifications in Unarmed and Knife.

Coming from a Stage background, she realised that she needs to develop her skills in Screen Acting.

In summer 2023, she joined the intensive Advanced Acting for Screen training in National Youth Theatre, expanding her knowledge and skills in Screen Acting and Meisner Technique.

In between 2023 – 2024 she went to train with ArtsEd for about a year, obtaining a Foundation in Acting. From this she expanded her knowledge in Stanislavski, Laban, and other practitioners work. She was also trained in Voice, Movement, as well as Screen Acting.

During her time in ArtsEd, she has done numerous amounts of mock auditions, performing in front of Casting Directors and Agents that were invited to the drama school.

SPOTLIGHT

In 2024, after graduating from ArtsEd, she decided to focus on practitioners training, particularly Meisner technique. She went to train with Meisner International in summer 2024, and continue to train with The London Meisner Company to this day.
