BIO
Bianca is a theatre artist, educator, intimacy and fight director, and singer/songwriter originally from Boston, MA. She recently moved back to Chicago after the pandemic altered her path for a little while, and she is eager to collaborate and connect with people who share her passions for social justice, mental and sexual health, body inclusivity, and reimagining what theatre can be and look like. Some of her simple joys include karaoke, condiments, dogs, and card/board games.
WHAT I MAKE
I make theatre and music, and I am interested in making theatre as an actor, writer, intimacy director, and fight director, as well as youth theatre director. I am also interested in making music with people; it's a dream of mine to be a lyricist/songwriter/singer for a band.

EXPLORING:
I just completed my first professional theatre credit as an actor and fourth credit as an intimacy director. I want to work on revising/overhauling my full-length play in the coming months to get it to a place where I might be able to have a reading. I also want to keep building my career as an actor, intimacy director/coordinator, and fight choreographer. It would be wonderful to also find some folks to start a band with! I'm a singer and songwriter but not a great instrumentalist.
