show all Igor Korosec (pronounced ['egor ko'roshez]) is a Slovenian-Russian actor. However as he was born in a small Slovenian town of Kranj, we can say that life in Russia influenced his life much deeper. His first performance was in pre-school at the age of six, and five years later, the shy boy decided to go to semi-professional theatre in town, and ask for a role. After a couple of months he started rehearsing the role of Rozle in "Dobra volja je najbolja." In high school, while performing in drama class, he soon realized that he wanted to move further, and established the theatrical group Izza Kulis (i.e. From Behind The Set). He produced and acted in all performances and directed Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park." After high school Igor continued his career professionally. Introduced to Stanislavski's Systems, he traveled to Moscow to study at the Russian Academy of Dramatic Arts, where in 1996, he graduated Summa cum Laude. In 1993 Korosec worked with blind and vision impaired people, gathering all necessary information, attracted some sponsors, and organized The First Slovenian Acting Seminar for Blind and Vision Impaired. He directed Tennessee Williams' Glass Menagerie. The seminar launched the acting career for many Slovenian vision impaired people. After graduation Igor returned to Slovenia and accepted an employment offer from the Slovenian National Theater, Celje. He acted with the company for two years and continued to direct and teach. Since 1998 Igor travels between Europe and United States in order to direct, act and teach acting. Igor Korosec believes that "there are no small roles". He will work with trained actors, and spotting those without any experiences, but with the right potentials. This belief motivates him in teaching acting, improvisation and directing.
