YES Cast

Kira Guchko

Mia

Hello! My name is Kira and I was the character Mia in the film Yes. Other than acting, I am also a professional dancer. I love both dancing and acting because I get to express myself either through my script or movements. I dance eighteen hours a week and I do all sorts of styles like lyrical, contemporary, jazz, and so much more. I love to color, read, or just watch something on the TV in my free time, although I don’t have much of it. I enjoyed being in film Yes a lot and I hope I get to be in more acting films as my career progresses.

The college had just revived its theatre program after a 15 year hiatus. It was a serendipitous start. Years later and a substantial amount of life lived, Sarah attended Cal Poly SLO and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Theatre. Her resume abounds with plays and short films. Aside from acting, Sarah is a fierce lover of horses, yoga and gardening. Being able to connect with people, animals, and the earth brings her the most joy.
