My name is Lora Krasteva. I am an artist, cultural producer and activist. I have a background in Political Sciences, Latin American and European Studies. The work I do is socially and politically engaged, often co-created with others and centering historically marginalised voices. In summer 2021 I published some words about my vision and ideas for a more sustainable & inclusive artistic practice: 4 key principles behind my work as a creative person. I am a passionate leader who works for tangible change.

 

Alongside my creative practice, I work as a personal and professional development coach to support other people to achieve their goals. I also offer consultancy and training in project management, producing, co-creation and working transnationally.

 

I was Innovator in Residence at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (2023-2024), co-founded Global Voices Theatre and the movement Migrants in Theatre and sit on the leadership group for What Next? Movement for Culture.

​

I am always on the lookout for new collaborators so do not hesitate to get in touch and sign up to my Substack publication “Untrained Effort” for monthly inspirations and updates

I regularly work with Claire Gilbert as my producer. She is an independent theatre producer who works internationally on political theatre. She co-runs British Romanian BEZNA Theatre, Off West End award winning Out Of The Forest Theatre as well as running her own company. She's worked at venues including the National Theatre, Barbican Centre and Royal Court.
