Marianna moved to the UK after 2 years of International Baccalaureate in Swaziland, South Africa. It was there where she began to act on stage and became really interested in Theatre and Film. Soon after culminating her studies she moved to London and auditioned for the Contemporary Theatre Course at East 15 Acting School. What excited her about this new course was the freedom they had to create, divised and produced their own work, together with a wider and more verstile overall training.
She was part of a few outside school productions while training, such as "Sword of 1001 Cuts" at the BAC with Para-Active Theatre Company and "Station" where she was the play's pianist.
As soon as she completed her training, together with 2 other colleagues their comedy play Caviar&Chips was created. The show made it to the Edinburgh Festival where it received numerous first rate reviews and consequently got offered a comedy venue in London to be perform soon after the Festival.
Caviar& Chips has hit London in several occasions. The play also opened the first English Speaking Theatre of Bruges (Belgium) and went to the Brighton Fringe Festival 2007.
Marianna has also got experience in TV and film, having being the presenter of a Candy Camera prime time TV show in Venezuela as well as TV being part of few TV commercials. She is currently working as one of the main characters in an independent film production.
