Behind the Scenes

⁣Bianca has trained to a master’s level in both Meisner and Stanislavski Acting techniques and has studied with various high-profile casting directors and acclaimed acting tutors both in the USA and New Zealand. ⁣

⁣With a mix of strength, vulnerability, and a badassery edge. Bianca has been cast in roles ranging from victim to villain, to fighting for the underdog. She revels in physical action roles and loves pioneering, strong female action archetypes. From the unhinged, badass version of Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor (Terminator 2 – Judgement Day 1991). To Sigourney Weaver’s iconic Ripley in Aliens (1986). ⁣

Anti-heroes and Flawed Types

She loves exploring a characters’ reality, their depth, what drives them, and their layers. While creating a vivid interior life for them with playable actions and choices. She has a passion for the creative freedom that genre hybrids like sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and action can bring to the screen for women. ⁣

⁣Fundamentally Bianca is drawn to roles that empower the underdog, the outsider. Those that have lost hope, those who are marginalized, repressed, feel abandoned, or lost like they don’t belong. Or don’t know why they are here. The ones that are told that they’ll never amount to anything.⁣ ⁣Bianca wants to tell stories that empower the viewer to show what’s possible. She wants her viewer to feel as if they know this person and can recognize themselves in them. So they can say “Yes! This is what I want for me, this is why I am here, this is my meaning, this is my purpose, and you will not stop me.⁣ ⁣⁣Bianca says…if one person sees the work on screen, and decides to bring more meaning to what they do and create, then I have done my job.
