Bio.

Camila is a Mexican-American performer originally from Ensenada, Mexico. She grew up training in various forms of dance, including jazz and classical ballet, and relocated to San Diego, California at fourteen to pursue her passion for the performing arts. Once in high school, her focus became acting, and over the course of the next four years she continued to grow her love for Shakespeare, movement, and devised work through various programs at The La Jolla Playhouse, receiving a full scholarship for their Young Performers Conservatory in her sophomore year. She currently studies Drama at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where she is a Tisch Scholarship recipient. Camila has trained at Playwrights Horizons Theater School and Atlantic Acting School and currently studies in the Experimental Theatre Wing.

Most recently, she had the opportunity to perform as Florinda in an all-female experimental staging of The Rover for Tisch Drama Main Stage. Past credits include ensemble for in lucem, also for Tisch Drama Main Stage, Antigonick at Playwrights Horizons Theater School, and Gut Carnival (Playwrights Horizons Theater School), a performance-art piece adapted from Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis

Camila’s dream is to continue collaborating with her peers in the field of theater, originating roles in newly written plays and performing in contemporary, classical, and physical-based pieces that are relevant and heartfelt. She would also love to continue pursuing on-camera acting and further developing her yoga practice.
