(She/They)
BFA Acting
Abigail Millson is a Vancouver based actor and future director. Her acting endeavors began with competing in the Canadian Improv Games, training at Moving Art and ImprovU; as well as producing shows with Yikes Comedy. Some of her past work includes; The Wolves: #25, Loose Assemblage: Mom, Naked Cinema X: Natalie, Concord Floral: 8/Fox & Tomorrow Love: Lane.
What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
The Wolves was the acting highlight of my time in the BFA. That show stretched me as an artist & inspired my love for collaborative art making. Travelling to FITS in Romania, witnessing (insane) European theatre has inspired my need to direct & push the buttons of Canadian theatre. Watching my cohort grow & evolve in their own art has taught me more than anything else in the past four years.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
After the process of Naked Cinema I am itching to pursue film in the future. I also see myself creating and directing my own work. As I leave UBC I am eager to enter the world with my own creative voice at the forefront of the art I make.
What is your dream role?
I don’t have a dream role specifically but I would love to be in any film by A24 or Greta Gerwig.
What are some of your special skills?
Improv, contact improv dance, sketch comedy writing, singing, poetry writing, yoga, basketball, alpine ski racing (certified instructor).
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
I would take 10 year old me and 70 year old me out for ice cream (we aren’t the dinner types). I think we would all get along great!
