MARIA PAU

She recently played in the international Disney+ series Mrs. Davis. She studied acting at the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona (1988-1991). After working in theatre, Maria Pau continued her training for six years in the Studio de Fazio, in Rome (Italy), led by Dominique de Fazio (lifetime member of the Actor’s Studio N.Y.). During her training, she moved to Germany where she continued to work in theatre and in 1998 came back to Barcelona to expand her career in cinema, theatre and television.
For Maria, acting is about the circumstances, the location, the weather, the time, where you come from, etc etc. With her we will dive into this simple, but now so difficult topic. This exercise will be recorded so you can watch yourself back later.
