Bea's Russell Actors Story

This is what RADA undergraduate Bea Svistunenko has to say about her training with Sherina and Russell Actors:

​''I joined a group called the Young Actors' Company in 2007 when I was 12, after a school friend invited me along to audition with her. We were both lucky enough to have been offered places, and since then, I attended weekly classes every Saturday until I left for university in 2013. Over these six formative years, I was taught by the wonderful Sherina Russell, who now leads her very own acting group, Russell Actors. Everything I learnt and all the skills I developed whilst studying with Sherina, from confidence to connectedness, creativity to clarity, have absolutely informed my progress through life, and continue to help me out to this day... They're a gift that keeps on giving. Some of my happiest memories are from her classes, improvisation festivals and productions, where my most solid friendships formed with talented and generous people with whom I'm still close to. Sherina herself has gone from teacher to mentor to a dear and valued friend. Without her guidance over that time I doubt I would have been offered a place on the three year acting BA at RADA after uni in 2016, which is where I am now studying, and am due to graduate from in 2019. I cannot recommend joining Russell Actors enough, as it is a company that will undoubtedly change your life.''
