About me

Iva a European-trained actor drawn to psychologically charged material and characters with moral ambiguity. She is drawn to work that allows seriousness and dark humour to coexist, often within the same moment.
Her work includes leading roles at the Croatian National Theatre, an Arts Council England–supported devised show, and an internationally co-produced feature film.
