About me

Lavinia studied acting at Cours Florent Paris and John Strasberg Studios New York. She completed an additional yearlong masterclass in Meisner Technique and camera acting at Actors Space Berlin.

Her wide range covers roles from classical plays like Lady Macduff in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Irina Arkadina in Chekhov’s The Seagull to more contemporary writing like Maria in Droumeva’s The Vagabonds (world premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2022) and Michaela in Bizet’s Carmen in the style of a modern Rock Opera.

Lavinia is fluent in German, English, French and Italian. She holds a master’s degree in modern philology.

Being open and available in order to serve the director’s vision and the character’s circumstances are Lavinia’s acting signposts.
