Hi! I'm Elena, an eclectic adventurer with Virginia farm roots.
As an artist with an international sense of play, I strive to bring multifaceted dimension to my work and maximize the communion of creative expression with community outreach. I believe creative work should inform creators, educate viewers, and dispel ignorance, (with plenty of room for laughter along the way.)
Come with me. There is so much to see! I would love to share it with you. - Elena Elena is an NYC-based actor, director, and producer, and is the founder and owner of Ground Rush Productions, a film and theatre production company that produces female-driven stories almost lost to history, and is the Executive Director of Trinacria Theatre Company. |
