Uliana Klimchuk is an actor, singer and writer from Kyiv, Ukraine.
Uliana earned a degree in Pop Singing at Kyiv R. Glier Institute of Music. Right before her graduation, in the month of February 2022 her country was invaded. Uliana became a refugee in Bulgaria, where she joined a group, Young Playwrights Ukraine, committed to telling the stories of their people and the realities of the day to day lives of millions of Ukrainians. The summer of 2023 she made a big move to center of the arts industry — Winston Salem, North Carolina — to pursue a degree in Acting at UNCSA.
One of her plays, “Superhero,” was published by Smith & Kraus and performed by David Harbour and Ivanna Sakhno at an online play festival, as well as at the Vineyard Theater by Kelly AuCoin and Jessica Hecht. Uliana is currently working on her one-person show, “Seledka.” It’s a piece meant to show that what is being destroyed in Ukraine isn’t any different from the lives of American people, while making fun of the soldiers who invaded her country.
Some of her credits at school include Frankie in “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune” directed by Ron Weiss, Edna Krabappel in “Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play” directed by Carl Forsman, and Marie Antoinette in “The Revolutionists” directed by Quin Gordon.
Uliana speaks fluent Ukrainian and Russian. She loves snowboarding, wakeboarding, boogie-boarding, any kind of boarding really, good books and action movies!
