About

Avina Shah is a London-based performer trained at The BRIT School for Performing Arts and the Elina Patrou Academy of Dance. She has performed in Stormzy’s: A Merky Xmas, student films, and political protest shows. Gravitating to physical and abstract theatre that questions and reimagines, Avina draws inspiration from biographies, poetry, and fashion. She finds creativity, timelessness, and unconventionality in rock music and is a keen actor-musician.
