Andreja always wanted to be theatre director. When she was 5 and a half she did her first show with a group of 7 friends. They wrote a story about winter kidnapping spring and she played a snow bell, one of the early spring flowers whom helps rescue spring and get things back on track. Their performance was watched only by their parents but they were hooked. Later on this group of early childhood friends went on to produce some outstanding professional artists: a publisher, a ballet dancer, painter, and her, an award winning, critically acclaimed professional theatre director.
Since that early age she kept on trying new hats in theatre. She started a theatre group in grade school and incorporated a professional theatre company in high school. Obviously Andreja applied for the prestigious Directing program at the National Theatre School of Canada and against all the naysayers got accepted. From then on, her life has become infused with professional theatre, from classics, to contemporary plays, new writing, development, touring, administration, puppetry, opera and she has truly done it all. She love it and cannot imagine her life without it. And because but.
