(she/her)
BFA Acting
Caylee is an actor and filmmaker from Abbotsford, BC. She is curious about blindspots in society and how storytelling can help illuminate them. Caylee is interested in acting, producing, and directing work that challenge form, engages with community, and prioritizes the quality of the process just as much as the product. She hopes her work can stir healthy discomfort and cultivate greater empathy and understanding between people.
What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
Being in a community with artists every day. Afternoons spent enveloped in the question “What is a voice?” as beams of light pour into the room.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
I see myself growing with the city and learning from the incredibly diverse film and theatre artists already active in Canada. I want to produce and support works that centre marginalized voices and artists with neurological atypicality. As so little can be controlled in an acting career, I want to follow the intention to never stop growing as an actor, and to create opportunities for myself and other artists in my community.
What is your dream role?
I don’t have a dream role. Roles that impact me come up unexpectedly.
Who is your favourite playwright?
Sarah Ruhl
What are some of your special skills?
I can play the keyboard and sing. I can write and take pictures.
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
Sarah Bareilles
