I am a manager, a scholar of cinema and theatre, an expert on India, and a Hindi teacher. I teach classes at the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Warsaw.

My research focuses on the cultural interpretation of performances, closely examining their social, political and religious underpinnings. A public performance, in my view, speaks volumes about the broader culture in which it plays a role, and is therefore a tool for learning about society and its traditions. I analyze portrayals of women in film and theatre, contemporary interpretations of traditional mythology and the intertwining of cinematic and theatrical aesthetics. I have authored a monograph about film and theatre adaptations of the Ramayana epic (soon to be published). I have also translated some poems by the Hindi poet Kunwar Narayan. I study the traditions of kathputli puppet theatre and lead marionette workshops. I also lead cross-cultural communication workshops focusing on India and Southeast Asia.

Working in culture, project management and event organization, I have been the production manager for a film, organized English-language workshops about India, directed premiere screenings and ceremonies, emceed events, delivered lectures, led cultural training courses, coordinated festivals, promoted events, translated films, and provided consultations on Indian culture. I lead intercultural communication workshops focusing on India and South-East Asia.

I have 13 years of experience in science administration. I am a deputy director of administration at the PAS Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures.

My professional experience encompasses 20 years of activity in academia, culture, administrative and project management.
