Ioulia Stepanova

Ioulia Stepanova is an explorer and a nomad at heart. She was born in the former Soviet Union and grew up in Western Europe. She speaks 5 languages, but none of them as fluent as the language of the body.

Ioulia is intrigued with raw human creativity and passionate about personal and collective growth. She is a transformation facilitator and an avid practitioner of improvisation, movement art and playback theatre. Ioulia is frequently found on stage re-enacting stories with Playback Theatre Sydney.

As part of her own healing journey, Ioulia hiked a European pilgrimage of more than 2000 km with nothing more than a backpack. That’s how she learned to trust the magic of the universe. After landing in Australia, the powerful energy of this land challenged her to express herself more authentically than she ever could before.

Ioulia’s purpose is to create a performance that uniquely touches, transforms and empowers every individual in the room.
