1000 LONDONERS
This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.

TRANSCRIPT
- I don't really think of myself as a Londoner. I live right on the border, right next to Kent, and I live in quite a small area. I don't really look at it as a bigger picture, as the whole of London, because I don't live in, I guess, the stereotypical London, the busy streets, big buildings, the London Eye, Big Ben, that's nowhere near me, so I feel like, because I'm not near central London, I don't consider myself as the typical Londoner who lives in the big city. My mum is from Russia, she was born and raised there. And she came to England, I think she still wanted to keep that culture alive in me also, so I attend Russian supplementary school, where I learned more about the language. I also speak Russian to my mum at home. My favourite hobbies are football and musical theatre. When I was younger, I played quite a bit of football, I joined a football team which was both genders, so boys and girls could also play. So, when I was in that team, I was the only girl there, and it was quite discouraging to know that I was the minority and the boys really took over the game. So, I feel like I was kind of outside of there. I don't really get involved in football much anymore, but I still keep musical theatre going to this day. I've always been interested in musical theatre, ever since I was younger, I always wanted to be in front of the camera, I always wanted to sing, dance, and that has always been a big part of my life. I think what influenced me was that I was always that kind of child who wanted to sing and dance and always be in front of the camera, on a stage. My parents saw that and I was in many many musical theatre clubs. Very recently, I entered a competition, from my supplementary school, it's called Living Classics, and we have to perform a piece of classic literature and bring it back to life. [Speaking Russian.] I did the national competition in England, and I won, and I went on to perform in Russia in a camp and I was there for three weeks. I think that is one of my biggest achievements. Musical theatre here is more modern. I feel like we have quite new productions, and I feel like in Russia we have more traditional kind of pieces, and how we train for these kind of productions I think is different, but I don't really prefer one or the other. I think that it's just quite different. I think I'll definitely want a career in musical theatre, and I would really love to be on the stage.
