Olga Maslen  
multi-media artist & mindset mentor

Thank you for visiting my website!

I am a multi-media artist, choreologist, teacher, writer, and mindset energy therapist exploring transformation, subconscious storytelling, and the human psyche through interdisciplinary art. My creative work serves as a metaphor for change, delving into cycles of death and rebirth, liminal states, family dynamics and identity. Influenced by my own near-death experience as an infant, I remain fascinated by the regenerative power of loss and its profound impact on personal evolution and creative expression.

​​I specialise in movement for performance, choreology, devising methodologies and well-being in performance. My embodiment practice, The Shifting Process, blends Laban’s principles, psychophysical practices, and body energetics to develop and unlock embodied creativity and intuitive, emotional, and somatic intelligence in creative contexts.

​

My performances and collaborations have been showcased across Europe, including London, Ghent, Malmö, Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Switzerland and Reykjavík. As a movement director and acting coach, I contribute to films. (IMDB)

​​

I hold an MA in Theatre Directing from INSAS, Brussels, and specialized in Choreological Studies and contemporary dance at Trinity Laban, earning the Simone Michelle Award for Choreographic Excellence. I furthered my research at Goldsmiths, University of London.

I am an Honorary Associate of the Royal Academy of Music and have taught at institutions such as the Royal Academy of Music, English National Opera for Opera Works, Trinity Laban Conservatoire for Music and Dance, Middlesex University, FOCAL Switzerland, JSBC Television China, Cambridge University, Giles Foreman Acting Centre, Kingston University, East 15 Acting School, Oxford School of Drama, Bird College of Performing Arts, HZT - University of the Arts of Berlin, Le Grand Conservatoire d'Avignon, Dance East, Rose Bruford College and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

My international and online workshops span devising mythologies, choreological studies, movement for wellbeing, nervous system regulation, kundalini & restorative & yoga nidra.  I also developed the Movement Toolbox, an artistic program fostering creative growth coaching directors, actors, performers, makers and filmmakers globally.
