Covid and War period

The 2020-2021 were tough times, no auditions, no projects, especially in Armenia. The best thing we could do was to open a company with dancers like me, under the leadership of Arman Balmanukyan. We ended up collaborating with the director of the Opera Studio of Komitas State Conservatory of Yerevan, who at the time was Hayk Vardanyan. Together, we created the opera productions: Orpheus, Don Juan, and Tango Evening. We also did contemporary dance productions: Enigma and Babylon. This space and its dancers hosted the first two SUMMEET dance festivals, after which, at the end of 2022, I left the company.

IRSS SCHOOL

I participated in the first edition of the Russian Seasons Innopraktika Choreography session in 2021, where I danced in two independent choreographies: Medea by Ksenia Mikheeva (click the button below to watch) and Diffusion by Natalia Kasparova.
