Acting

Yaiya made a guest appearance on Channel 5's (Sweden) hidden camera show Svärföräldrarna från helvetet as the ex-girlfriend Sandy. She was also the face and producer of an online talent show iDream and hosted Season 1, November 2010 - April 2011. In commercial video, she has been a main representative of the Carlsberg Group soft drink Festis.

Yaiya (as Yaiya Sacasios) was the headliner of the CabarEng ensemble's cabaret shows directed by Lars Jacob in Stockholm 2009-2011 and has made studio audio recordings for that group of over 50 of their cabaret numbers. With that ensemble she was on a U.S. tour in September and October 2011 and did A Tribute Westward (on the 100th anniversary of Mae West's Broadway debut) at Don't Tell Mama. The tour also included Cabaret Large A-Cup in Manhattan at the Metropolitan Room, and in Washington DC at Madam's Organ, plus performances at venues in Annapolis and Boston.

Film production

At the age of 14 Yaiya founded her company Ymperia and started to teach performance and film acting with her mother Carola Siekas Kostenius. 2012 they opened Ymperia Academy in Stockholm, Sweden and presented The Ymperian Method to their students. Yaiya directed a lot of films and in 2015 she won Skellefteå Krafts Competition Brainpower with her 14 seconds short film What Makes The World Go 'Round?

A well-made film that, in 14 short seconds, may bring thoughts about the world we live in and the role of the individuals in this. It becomes a clear message that the brain has never been more important than now. It is necessary that the brain's capacity is used to enable us as individuals to develop new innovations that can positively affect the future - it requires brain power!

2016 and 2017 Ymperia Academy won Artisternas Hatt for "the widest course offer for cultural workers".
