Daria Ancuța (RO) is a 21-year-old theatre critic, playwright and emerging dance writer based in Bucharest. Currently a third-year student at The National University of Theatre and Film “I. L. Caragiale”, where she is pursuing a BA degree in Theatre Criticism & Cultural Management. Writing her final thesis on the relationship between artistic creation and critical reception, she is passionate about understating the dynamics of the artist-critic duo in both theatre and dance. Her articles and reviews have been published in the two most important performing arts magazines in Romania – Scena.ro and Teatrul azi. Daria is also editor-in-chief of Dissolved Magazine – an online platform through which she strives to promote young arts journalists in Romania and engage readers in a dynamic cultural dialogue. Since 2020, she has participated in a wide range of international theatre and dance festivals as a critic, curator and moderator for panel discussions. Given the fact that she comes from an academical background mainly focused on theatre, the first step in overcoming her imposter syndrome when writing about dance was her participation in the Resolution Review 2024 programme at The Place (London).
