WORKING WITH JELENA
Jelena is incredible to work with: her boundless inventivness and dramatic imagination are met with diligent training and preparation, unprecedented discipline as well as mental, emotional and physical dedication. She tries to make everything possible and has a gift to touch audiences deeply just with her presence. This unique skillset makes it easy to forget that she is still at the beginning of her career.
