Irina Paradnaya is a freelance producer running her own company located in Frankfurt, Germany, working on various independent projects.
Projects “In the Solitude of Cotton Fields” and “Iphigenia in Aulis” are made together with her fellow colleague and partner Ms. Ekaterina Yakimova.
Irina Paradnaya received her professional education in Moscow (Moscow Art Theater School, Bachelor’s Degree, Class of 2010) and New York (NYU, Master's Degree, class of 2016). She also participated in various exchange programs and did research at the Harvard University (Boston, USA) and University of Kent (Canterbyrry, UK).
Between 2010 and 2017 Irina was holding a position of Executive Producer at the Bolshoi Theater of Russia. While at the Bolshoi, she produced a multitude of projects (more than 20 projects), including ballet and opera productions, international tours, an international ballet festival and the Grand Re-Opening Concert of the Historical Stage of the Bolshoi Theater following the extensive renovation project.
During her years in New York she interned and worked in such eminent companies as The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet and The Joyce Theatre mainly focusing on marketing and development.
In July 2016, she launched a NY based IJ Group International with Jared G. Lilly, the organization's Senior Partner and Director of Operations and, among other projects, produced an immersive performance for the Fabulous Fund Fair (first collaboration of the Naked Heart Foundation and amfAR in New York). The performance was made in creative collaboration with Laboratory ABC and was based on “Sleep no more" experience.
Irina participated in the Harvard Leadership Conference and held several lectures in the American Center in Moscow. In 2022 together with her family she moved to Germany and started Flow Projects together with her husband Nikita Sambozhuk, and later on Flow Projects Culture Club, which they continue to successfully develop today.
