About

Esther Omaraee is a Copenhagen-based actor drawn to psychologically complex, character-driven work. She trained in the Meisner and Stanislavski techniques at Copenhagen Acting School under Carsten Kressner, completed a Meisner Intensive Masterclass, and continues private coaching with Michelle Berçon alongside ensemble practice at Dedie de Yngre and Filmværksted København. Multilingual and of Persian origin, she moves comfortably between Nordic and international contexts, working across English, Danish, Persian and German.

Alongside acting, Esther reads medicine at the University of Copenhagen. Her clinical training has given her an unusually precise vocabulary for human behaviour under pressure — the involuntary language of the body, the way people compose or lose composure in vulnerability. That observation feeds directly into her character work.
