BFA Acting
Lauren was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. A graduate of the UBC BFA Acting program she is grateful to have so many incredible credits. These include Coriolanus as Titus Lartius (UBC ’22), The Parliament of the Birds as Falcon (UBC ’22), The Wolves as #13 (UBC ’23), and Bar Stool as Frances (UBC ’23).
What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
The Wolves was a really special experience for me. It was the first time I had ever played a character that I felt was true to who I am as a person and it was amazing to have that ease and trust in my work.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
I want to do more film acting. There is a certain energy with a film that I resonate with and want to explore more as my career continues forward.
What is your dream role?
My dream role is a young female character that speaks the truth and has strength. I have struggled to find young female characters who I find authentic and I know they are out there so when I come across that character, I want to honour the female story.
Who is your favourite playwright?
My favourite playwright is Daniel MacIvor. His words create such tragic, funny and compelling stories.
What are some of your special skills?
My special skills are all genres of dance, art, cooking (especially pasta dishes) and having good taste in music (at least I think so:)).
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
My Grandpa who passed away before I was born. My mom speaks about him with such emotion and I would do anything to meet him and hear the stories of his days as an English teacher/rugby player/newspaper columnist and actor.
