Hi and thanks for checking out my Stage 32 profile!
I am currently Creative & Executive Director of my own production co., Dacian Wolf Productions, a multimedia think tank that develops and produces narrative, documentary, literary, and educational projects.
I also serve as Director of IWP Media, the multi-media development, production, and distribution wing of the Institute of World Politics, a graduate school of national security, intelligence, and international affairs with headquarters in Washington, D.C.. We develop and produce a variety of projects, including online courses, edu-docs, podcasts, and more.
I am a former Lecturing Professor of Acting and Movement at Pace University, NYC, and hold a BFA in Dance & Theater, an MBA in Accounting, and an MA in Statecraft and National Security Affairs.
WRITING My main focus is on character-driven action drama. It's a tone and dynamic to which I seem to gravitate naturally as a writer, as an audience member, and as an actor.
ACTING I am a Meisner-trained bi-lingual (English-Romanian) actor. I was initially advised to study acting by Robert McKee at one of his Story seminars as a way to, let's say, know how to get tactical about my writing. Two and a half years of acting training later... anyway - one of the best trainings for anyone involved in narrative.
A VARIED BACKGROUND
Because of my experience with both professional dancing and acting, as well as with screenwriting, I have been gradually able to identify critical aspects that are common to these art forms and, therefore, can offer my creative projects a practical integration of these concepts that will serve the aesthetic, the value, and the working environment of that project. I also bring into my toolbox my studies of anatomy and physiology at the University of Medicine in Romania, my interest in Cognitive Psychology, and my experience as a ballroom-dance and Argentine Tango instructor.
DANCE... MY FIRST LOVE I started my performing arts career as a student at the George Enescu conservatory for the Arts in my native Bucharest, Romania. After arriving in the USA, I continued my studies at the New Jersey School of Ballet. I've toured with the internationally acclaimed Pilobolus Dance Theatre and have taught movement and choreography classes in Argentina, Romania, Moscow, Korea, Japan, Italy, Chile, as well as at many US universities. I've choreographed repertory for universities and dance studios as well as for my own Sebastian Sextet Dance Theatre.
