Arielle Zaytsev

Based in mostly New York City while pursuing her Bachelor of Arts in Acting at Pace University, Arielle primarily studies collaborative theatre-making and devised work. Including her regular acting, movement, and voice training, Arielle took courses in Theatre of the Oppressed, World Theatre, and more, centering critical observation and political activism in creating theatre. She put these into practice in the creation process of her devised show, AliveAwakeAlert, and in her past and current theatre internships with Co-Op Theatre East and Docbloc. Arielle has taken initiative in her creative career by writing scripts, producing, casting, and acting in them. Her first self-made short, "Runner", has been submitted to film festivals across the country for critical acclaim. She has also appeared in more film work such as "Don't Panic", which is competing at the 48 Hour Film Project LA, and other shorts that have bolstered her on-camera experience. Additionally, she has produced and hosted her own radio show, Arielle's Agoraphobia, through WPUB on the Pace University campus.
