Svetlana Nikiforova

Actress and director · Kaluga Regional Drama Theatre · Honoured Artist of the Kaluga Region

The Kaluga Regional Drama Theatre is the only employer in her work record.

She came to the theatre straight after school as a dresser — ironing costumes, cleaning shoes, helping the actors. She was then taken into the supporting company and later the main company; her first role was Little Red Riding Hood in Schwartz's play. She studied at the Yaroslavl Theatre Institute and received her diploma from the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute. For many years she worked with the theatre's artistic director Alexander Pletnev.

Today

She appears in about ten productions of the Kaluga Drama Theatre, performs with the experimental theatre PRO ART'S, works as an actress and director with the children's theatre lab “Teatr KU”, and teaches students — and goes on stage with them.
