Katharine Sergava was a Russian ballet dancer and an actor. When I met Ms.Sergava, she was in her seventies and was an instructor at Herbert Berghof Studios (HB Studios) on Bank Street in Greenwich Village, New York.
Ms. Sergava had an elegance, a keenness, a textured approach to the art of acting. Through her instruction, she shared the riches of her mind and spirit
Ms. Sergava introduced me to the inner work of the actor. Through her instruction, I came to respect and honor acting as a profession which did not only require talent, but also skill. I feel so very blessed to have met this gifted artist at such a creatively receptive time in my life.
