Growing up performing theatre in Vancouver and graduating from the John Abbott Professional Acting Program in 2024, Samira is thrilled to be an actor and creator based in Montréal. Some of her favourite roles over the years include Hermia and Puck in separate productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Desdemona in Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet), and Éponine in Les Misérables. She is especially excited to add Abby and Madison to that list.

In her own creative work, Samira is drawn to exploring themes of faith, spirituality, family, and the formation of identity. She is grateful to be part of Geordie’s incredible team, who share her deep love of storytelling and creative collaboration.

Masha (she/they) is a queer and neurodivergent actor, director and theatre creator with a background in physical theatre and a love for new work development. They thrive in chaos, curiosity, and movement. Amongst trees, playfulness, and loved ones. Between two main activities: wondering and wandering. Born in Russia, raised in the United Arab Emirates, and primarily based between Tiohtià:ke (Montréal) and T’Karonto (Toronto), they are deeply moved by the million ways in which language, place, and worldview impact how we tell stories. A graduate of Concordia’s Performance Creation program, Masha has spent the last few years working as an actor in film and theatre, building her practice as a director, developing experimental creation projects, and continuing her training abroad with ArtHaus Berlin and the Grotowski Institute in Poland. Her work in Geordie and Imago’s co-production of The Wolves in Montreal scored her a nomination for Outstanding Emerging Artist and won Outstanding Ensemble. An alum of the 2023-2024 2Play Tour, Masha is thrilled to be returning to work with Georide Theatre and the tour in a new role and bring two incredible new plays to students across Eastern Canada.

Select recent credits include: The Wolves (Geordie Theatre and Imago Theatre), Cornflake (Dense and Stage), Instant (Geordie Theatre), Perfect Storm (Geordie Theatre), Dances of Likeness (Studio Matejka), Transplant  (CTV / NBC), Windy (Young Hearts Theatre), and Les Temps (François Delisle).
