Transform Through Arts Theater
Performing Artists Collective
Uniting Humanity In All Its Diversity Through The Performing Arts
ABOUT
Mission Statement:
‘’Transform Through Arts Theater’’ is performing artists collective that enriches and empowers peoples lives through expression of creativity. We provide collaborative opportunities and the outlet for performing artists to showcase their work through theater productions and engagement with community..
How it began:
My life long passion for Dance, Acting, and Music led me to create Transform Through Arts Theater, a community of artists on both local and global levels, to bring and bridge us together in expression of our unique colors and talents, to bring out the best in each other, and to inspire the audience to connect with their true selves and who we are evolving into as humanity.
My Philosophy:
Ever since I was a child I knew that something greater than me exists that unites all of us together in something greater, of which we are each a part.
I knew that we are here to embody something greater than ourselves and to grow in Love on all levels, from family and intimate relationships to community, from planetary to Universal level. As my life has unfolded and I have awakened to know who I am and who I am becoming, I have wanted to share and connect with people in that oneness.
Through my own journey, I have discovered that the Performing Arts and the Arts in general, whether music, dance or painting, form a direct connection that ignites, awakens and gives us an experience beyond the barriers and limitations of who we think we are. Art awakens our souls and our essence at the very core.
As we allow ourselves to channel our unique Divine energy that flows through us, connection with each other begins to take on a different meaning. We see each other as unique pieces of the puzzle that weaves the tapestry of life together, we come to value our own unique gifts beyond the limitations and lack of support in society, and we yearn for community to share it with each other.
The purpose of Transform Through Arts Theater is to ignite, evoke and awaken the parts of ourselves and transform the challenges of human existence into a celebration of positive change. In this challenging time of transformation on the global level it is more than ever important to come together and celebrate our unique contribution to the world, to unite and bring peace to humanity as we realize our oneness with each other. And Performing Arts are a beautiful way to bring that about.

She turned her focus to learning Latin and later, Ballroom dance. Discovering a natural talent for movement, she caught the eye of Natalie Gorchakova, the internationally renowned dance trainer and choreographer. While studying with Natalie, Yulia herself began to teach children the basics of dance and movement at her local elementary school.
Her Career Beginnings
In 1997, Yulia Maluta moved to Santa Barbara, CA and partnered with David Alvarez at the Santa Barbara Dance Centre. It was here that her professional and competitive dance career sprung forth. David and Yulia expressed a chemistry and style that was in constant demand as they traveled nationally. Some of her performances included TV Channel 3, Santa Barbara Fiesta Festival, Lobero Theatre Bash, John E. Profit Foundation of Art Gala.
Desiring to further her competitive career at that time, Yulia moved to San Diego to dance with Daniel Vasco, a widely recognized dancer and choreographer well known in both the dance field and movie industry.

For the next 3 years she focused on deepening her embodiment of integrated movement and expression.
