About me

Hi, I’m Sonia, and until my career becomes noteworthy enough to warrant a good unauthorised biography, it falls to me to write, here and now, a few lines about me.

I work as an actress, theatre-maker, director and choreographer. I’ve also worked as a dancer, dance teacher and in other jobs (as a waitress, for instance — practically essential if you want to make it as a Hollywood actress).

Acting and dance have been the common thread throughout my career. Over the years, directing, choreography and theatre-making have found their way in quite naturally, as though I’d never really stopped being that little girl who danced like Britney Spears and put on plays at break time.

I was born in Olot (Girona), and for more than ten years I was part of a dance company, performing at festivals both in Spain and abroad. It was there that I learnt that talent means very little without perseverance, discipline and a sense of community. Between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, we travelled and performed in different countries, where I discovered new kinds of music and different cultures, and met people from all over the world. Those experiences changed me. Leaving Olot, seeing the world and experiencing that kind of freedom made me imagine other possibilities.

After studying Primary Education at the University of Girona, I moved to Barcelona to train in dance and musical theatre. I remember telling my parents I wouldn’t last two months.

Sixteen years later, I’m still here.

It was unlikely that I’d end up working in the performing arts, but I like to think it is inevitable.

As Aristotle would say… where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Working in this beautiful, crazy profession is a bit like living in a film. Sometimes it’s wonderful; other times, it feels like a psychological thriller. The good thing is, there’s still a lot of the film left.
