About me

**Kateryna Hryhorenko**
*International Actress | Theatre & Screen | Based in EU/UK*

A graduate of the prestigious Kyiv National Theatre and Cinema University, Kateryna honed her craft across film, television, and stage — working on both Ukrainian and international projects. Her versatility shines in roles that demand emotional depth and technical precision, nurtured by years of training, including specialized workshops across Europe and the UK.

Her recent lead role in Vincent Ward’s upcoming film (currently paused due to the war) underscores her ability to anchor high-profile productions. Now relocated with EU and UK work visas, Kateryna brings a unique blend of Eastern European intensity and classical training to auditions and sets, ready to collaborate on bold storytelling. Strengths:
✓ Multilingual (fluent in Ukrainian, English, French and Polish languages)
✓ Genre-fluid — from arthouse drama to commercial TV
✓ Stage-trained physicality with on-screen subtlety

*Available for castings, theatrical representation, and international co-productions.*
