About Sophia
Sophia is a London based actor who hails from Birmingham, Alabama.
She has been a performing artist for over a decade and her skill set ranges from classical dance and musical theatre, to Shakespeare, comedy, and film. She is a storyteller at heart and has broadened her skill set through the years to be able to communicate stories in whatever medium is best suited.
Life is about the human story!
Sing it. Dance it. Speak it. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry. Make 'em think.
From early teenage years, through high school, Sophia trained as a classical ballet dancer and danced with the Alabama Dance Theatre semi-professional company. As a corps de ballet member, she danced Fokin and Petipa's original choreography in Les Sylphides, Swan Lake, and Paquita...as well as new productions of Cinderella, Peter Pan, A Christmas Carol, and contemporary works set by resident and guest choreographers. In 2008, she was accepted to and attended the Joffrey Ballet School Summer Intensive in NYC and in 2009 performed in dance festivals and competitions around the southeast, including SERBA, and was a placing finalist in the Dance Division of the Alabama ACES competition.
