Maggie ( Aka Muge) Bakir Profile

My inspiration has always been the story and the characters that inspire stories.
As creatives, we all choose the medium to share our stories. I have chosen cinema and theatre; the moving image and performance; to tell stories and bring the characters and their stories to life.
I feel very lucky to have worked on a diverse range of productions including feature films, TV, commercial, brand, corporate video. promotional , internal communications, estate photography/video and global campaign videos(+ graphic media) for charity.
From age 6, I started training for ballet which gave me a great love for classical music and dance. Our dance school Dance Akademik was a collaborate of Royal Academy of Ballet. The first time I went on stage was at Ataturk Kultur Merkezi in Istanbul, performing on Nutcracker. Ballet would be a constant part of my life for 12 years.
At the age of 14, I joined evening stage school where I attend training and rehearsals in the evenings after school.
