Bio

“The truth is I don’t know if what is happening inside of me is a blessing or a curse. What I know for sure if I have an innate ability to empathize with everyone that I meet, including animals and at times even inanimate objects.

It breaks my heart to see others suffer and when someone is happy, my soul is filled with joy.

This is exactly what happens with the characters that I play. They transform me. They consume me. They use me to express themselves. I cannot and I will not avoid it. I am an actress.”

Despite her relatively young age, Julia Rioboo (Seville, 1995) was able to build extensive acting experience, making her today one of the most promising actresses of Spanish origin. She has demonstrated it through her sensational performance as a protagonist in more than thirty short films as well as seven theatre plays.

Julia had it crystal clear since she was a child that her future would be related in one way or another to the world of acting and performing arts. As a little girl, she had already managed to practice theater in her hometown’s Dos Lunas theatre company, premiering in Seville two plays in the “Fundición” and “Sala Cero” halls. In high school, she obtained her Baccalaureate with a specialty in Performing Arts, later completing her undergraduate degree in Dramatic Arts at the Superior School of Dramatic Arts in Seville. In May of 2015 she took an acting course taught by director Gracia Querejeta. In September of 2018, she moved to New York, where she currently resides, after earning a scholarship to pursue a Masters in Acting for Film at the New York Film Academy.

During her time at the E.S.A.D. in Seville, she plays different roles both in classical productions such as “The Wise Women” by Moliere directed by José Manuel Martí, and in contemporary theater, notably in “Toska” directed by Mar Rodríguez and premiered at the Central Theater.
