Hi, I’m Nur Birol Taşören — an actor, former competitive dancer, and mindfulness-based performance & presence coach. I was born and raised in Türkiye and now call New York home.

 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been walking two paths side by side. One was my professional career as a landscape architect in the lighting industry. The other — just as present, just as important — was the stage.

 

I began performing as a competitive dancer while studying landscape architecture at university, competing with licensed teams across Türkiye. Dance eventually led me to theatre, and theatre opened the door to acting. Even while working full-time in design and lighting, I was on stage, performing in both scripted and improvisational productions, driven by my love for storytelling and live performance.

 

After moving abroad, a new chapter began. I expanded my training internationally and stepped into the world of on-camera acting, studying across Europe and the U.S.

 

Today, I bring all these experiences together. As a performer, I blend movement, presence, and emotion — on stage, on screen, and in my coaching work. As a coach, I help others access clarity, focus, and emotional awareness so they can perform at their best — in art, sport, or life.
