BLANCA ESPINOZA

Blanca Espinoza (she/her) is a versatile artist from Mexico. She began her acting training at a young age in Guadalajara and moved to Canada and Ireland to pursue her artistic dream. During this time, she discovered her love for production and direction, in addition to performing on stage.

During college, she had the opportunity to make her theatre directing debut with the original musical "Under The Fig Tree," a story inspired by "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, collaborating with Calla Chapnik and Paris Healey. She has also directed music videos for Maeley, theatre videos for the St. Lawrence College Theatre Department, and videos for other artists and projects.

Aside from her passion for the performing arts, Blanca loves creating content through various digital media, such as photography, graphic design, video editing, and film directing.

Coming from an artistic family has taught her to love art and to proudly share her culture with the world. Blanca hopes to continue acting and directing in film and theatre, as well as creating new works for the future of storytelling.

My name is Conor Sheridan. I am 22 years old. I am originally from Dromard, co. Longford. I am currently nearing the end of my fourth and final year of ATU Sligo’s level 8 Performing Arts. I have been trained in the Chekov and Stanislavski forms of acting by Declan Drohan, Niall Colleary and Agnes Pallai. The following pictures below are examples of some of the productions I have acted in in the Blackbox performance space here in ATU Sligo. In regards to my future, my dream is to do solely acting, I want to start off in theatre and see where my career goes from there. As right now I am still deciding where in Ireland I want to go after college is over. I am stuck between Dublin, cork and Galway. My preference is to join the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. The problem is with that is the cost of living is fairly high in Dublin and I am not sure if a part time jo will e enough to support me as well as being a professional actor in that city. That might work in Galway of cork. If I had to choose between Galway and cork I'd choose Galway as it seems like it has got more to offer.
