Hello! Labas!
My name is Mia Jurkunas and I am a Lithuanian-American actor, physical theater performer, and director based out of New York City.
I strives to create authentic, raw, and avant-garde theater and film that tackles morally confusing yet thought-provoking themes, with physical movement and sensorial memory as the foundation.
I value collaboration and learning in all its forms. I live to create and create to live. I am I because of my art.
Artist’s Statement
As an artist and individual, I reject the idea that theater is entertainment. I prioritize the process of creation over the final result, and I desire a theatrical process based in physicality and humanity.
