Ania Nova is an actress, world traveler, and nature lover. She talks with Kenya this week about how she got into background acting in Oslo (after moving there from a small town in Russia) and made her way to London. Ania speaks about the skills that landed her a role as a stunt performer in stage combat, what it was like to move from a small town to a big city on her own, and how background acting and networking in production assisted in her journey to find bigger roles. Ania shares great advice on how to respect the set you’re on, tips for digging into raw emotion and bringing it out in acting, and how pursuing her dreams in acting grants her the ability to do what she loves on a global scale.
