Elena Lozonschi is a Romanian actor and theatre-maker based in Los Angeles. Having lived in the United States for nearly a decade, her work is deeply shaped by the experience of existing between cultures, drawn to psychologically grounded stories, immigrant identity, moral tension, and the quiet contradictions of human behavior.

​

She grew up in Romania surrounded by old tales, protest songs, and the echo of folk traditions, where stories were not simply entertainment, but lifelines. Elena began her artistic life as a classical pianist at the age of four, later competing nationally and internationally throughout her youth. The discipline, emotional precision, and musical sensitivity formed during those years remain central to her artistic practice, grounding her work in truth, restraint, and a deep respect for lived experience.

​

Elena trained at the New York Film Academy and the Stella Adler Professional Conservatory, pairing rigorous technique with an appetite for experimentation and emotionally honest performance. Her work across stage and screen spans classical theatre, devised ensemble work, intimate one-person shows, and independent film. Notable stage credits include Lyubov Andreyevna in The Cherry Orchard, Horatio and Laertes in Hamlet, the solo piece Girls & Boys, and devised ensemble work in Lists of Promise. She has also appeared in the short film American Dreamin’.

​

In addition to her acting work, Elena is the co-founder and co-artistic director of Béton Brut Productions, where she develops and creates work rooted in raw theatricality, emotional precision, and collaborative experimentation.

​

With roots in Romania and a career evolving internationally, Elena is particularly drawn to naturalistic cinema and emotionally restrained storytelling that lingers beneath the surface. Her work across stage, film, and hybrid performance is guided by one intention: to create stories that stay with people. Not because they are loud, but because they are honest, human, and deeply alive.
