Sanya Ruseska Actress, Dancer
Sanya Ruseska is a Macedonia-based actress and a member of the National Theatre in Kumanovo for 13 years. She is currently part of the cast of a new comedy premiering at the International "Days of Comedy" festival, where she takes on the challenging role of a grandmother — a stage transformation that pushes her artistic boundaries.
Her dedication to continuous growth has led her to be selected for the exclusive workshop "Inner Life in Close Up" with Hugh O’Gorman and Sladjana Vujosevic, focusing on Michael Chekhov’s techniques and advanced on-camera performance.
Beyond her professional work, Sanya trains at the gym, practices yoga, and enjoys reading books on self-discovery and acting. She loves spending time with her family and is a proud mother of two. A longtime vegan, she is deeply connected to nature and animals.
