Maria Stana

Maria Stana is a young actress based in London, trained in both stage and screen acting. Her passion for Acting started out as a child when she watched films such as Black Swan, The Talented Mr. Ripley and other critically-acclaimed films. That's when she knew Acting was the career she wanted to pursue in the future. She believes acting is the act of empathy and actors are powerful since they can move people through their performances and inspire them too. 

Maria is originally from Romania and started to take acting classes at the age of 16. She moved to London in September 2021 when she joined the BA Acting course at St Mary's University of Twickenham. She recently graduated and she's now trained in stage acting, modern and classical text, including skills such as clowning, Commedia Dell'arte, as well as screen acting, Meisner and Stanislavsky techniques. 

Maria is currently working on a short film, horror genre, called 'Method' that one of her friends wrote. She will be starring in it. But she is also part of the Creative team.  

Maria is passionate about travelling and loves to get to learn about other cultures. She likes Pilates and Yoga and enjoys walks in nature. Her favourite film is Promising Young Woman.
