JAYDEN TINIANOV

My name is Jayden Tinianov (he/him), and I am a 21-year-old autistic actor, singer, and advanced mover from Barrie, Ontario, Canada, where I grew up with an older brother and a younger sister. Before coming to Atlantic Technology University, I graduated from St. Lawrence College (Brockville, Ontario) with an Ontario Advanced Diploma in Music Theatre. After graduating from ATU, I plan to move back home to start working in musical theatre. Some of my past credits include "Blind Man" in The Death of Cuchulainn, "Man in Chair" in The Drowsy Chaperone, and "Paul" in The Theory of Relativity. I have also co-written and co-directed a play called Code Blue for the National Theatre School Drama Festival, which won "Best Written/ Directed." Aside from theatre, my passions include playing Dungeons & Dragons and video games.

I am graduating from ATU Sligo with a BA (Hons) in Performing Arts. The last four years have been a wild ride, I’m sure we all have fond memories of doing yoga over Zoom! I’ve learned so much thanks to this course, if I hadn’t been given a chance in third year I would have never discovered that I wanted to pursue a career in directing. Attempts On Her Life will forever be one of my fondest memories as the first production I ever directed. I also feel that I’ve developed as a writer these last four years, rewriting Iphigenia At Aulis was a highlight.

Going forward I want to further my education with a Masters degree. I have so many ideas going around my head surely at least one of them will make sense! I also plan to continue pursuing directing, writing, and being involved with the theatre in general. To my classmates, we are all players that strut and fret their hours upon the stage so I’m sure we’ll all meet again. I believe that we are all made to create art.

The rest is silence.
