Elena (Olena) Rechych
This workshop is led by Elena (Olena) Rechych, a Ukrainian theater and film actress. Elena has participated in more than 70 projects, including award winning films, theater productions, TV shows and commercials. She was an actress of the theater "Black Square" in Kyiv. After moving to the Netherlands in 2022, Elena created the ACTinFLOW Theatre Studio in Amsterdam for Ukrainians and produced several productions. She has been involved in several theatre projects with the Lycka’s artists in Amsterdam in 2023. As part of this project, she created a solo performance “My home”. In 2025, she was invited to the The United Ukrainian Theater (UUT) for a project called CHAOS, which premiered in Amsterdam. She is a member of UUT and a member of the Buddy Film Foundation, Netherlands.
This workshop explores the actor’s inner process - the invisible mechanisms that shape presence, behavior, and action before text or emotion appear. Through a practical and experiential approach, participants investigate how meaning is created internally and how inner impulses naturally translate into clear, truthful external action. The work centers on awareness, attention, and contact, offering actors adaptable tools that support authentic performance across different styles, texts, and creative contexts.
Focus of the workshop
Inner speech and attention as sources of action
Body, voice, and gesture as expressive choices
The relationship between inner evaluation, emotion, and behavior
Contact with oneself and with a partner

Objective, action, and change as results of the inner process
Time Saturday, 24 January, from 13:00 till 17:00
Location CREA, Room 2.03, Nieuwe Achtergracht 170, 1018 WV Amsterdam
