Anastasiia Babanska

Graduated from the Sumy College of Arts and Culture named after D. S. Bortnyansky in 2022 and from the Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A. S. Makarenko in 2024.

“What inspires me in contemporary ballet is the ability to speak through the body, to experience certain events and emotions while dancing. The absence of boundaries. The free expression of feelings through movement. The ability to speak on important topics, to try on different roles, and to enjoy the exchange of energy with both the partner and the audience. I am inspired by the people in the arts and what they create, both on and off the stage.”

Since 2024, has been working at Kyiv Modern-Ballet.

“At this stage, I’m glad to have the opportunity to work in the theater, to develop my dance and body, and to be on stage. I worked long and hard to get here, and right now, this is my greatest achievement.”

Tours before joining the theater: Poland, cities across Ukraine.

“For me, contemporary ballet is a form of art where the meaning of the performance is revealed through dance, music, and expression. It is a very demanding physical and emotional work, but one that brings aesthetic and visual pleasure.”
