About Ariana Starkman
Welcome!
I am an actor and Explorrior (a word I created combining explore + warrior) and have dual American/Canadian citizenship.
I’m committed to the arts, the environment, social justice, writing, healthy lifestyles, and building strong connections.
Stories exploring courage, vulnerability, and love (in all its many forms) excite me the most.
My deep love of learning and sense of adventure brought me to Accademia dell’Arte (Italy) to study Commedia dell’Arte, to The Moscow Art Theatre School to study Russian acting methods, and to London to study the Demidov technique (and see 135 productions!). I also love studying clown, stage combat, animal movement, and various physical theatre or movement techniques whenever possible.
Have a stroll through the site. Maybe we’ll laugh, maybe we’ll cry — either way, I’m grateful you’re here.
