Borja Roldán

Born in San Sebastian on the 29th of December 1983. At 18, when he had finished high school, he applied to study tourism at university and was accepted but rejected the place knowing that it wasn't what he wanted to do with his life. In 2003, at 19 he began his adventure; he left home and moved to Barcelona where he began to discover the performing arts and his love for the theatre. He did a course in Tourist Entertainment, which allowed him to discover theatre life. During a performance in an amphitheatre in front of more than a 1000 people, he went on stage and decided that this was where he wanted to spend the rest of his life. In 2004 he passed the course to enter in the school La Casona and began to study there. During his first year began to work for the children's theatre production company Carpe S.L. and combined the creation of shows, rehearsals and his studies during that year. As a result of his dedication to the company and the school he became sick and ended up in hospital. This didn't stop him. In 2005 he enrolled in the Teatro Estudio Victor Hernandez in Barcelona where he studied interpretation for two years with the professor Panayotis Angelopoulus. In this school he learned circus techniques, Clowning, Mime, contemporary dance... His desire to develop his skills as a clown and explore the child within led him to do a course with Jango Edwards. In 2007 after six months in Lanzarote working as an entertainer he decided he wanted to know more about the world of interpretation. He decided to go to Argentina for six months, to continue investigating the profession. In Buenos Aires he didn't waste any time and did a variety of courses, the most notable of which were with Professor Marcelo Savignone. In 2007 life took him to Florence where the world of cinema started to interest him. He studied at the cinema school Immagina and received classes from the director Giussepe Ferlito. At the same time he joined the International Centre of Theatre receiving tuition from the Russian Olga Melvik and later joined her company performing in various shows. In 2009 he moved to Madrid with a hunger for more. He wanted to continue investigating the world cinema both in front of and behind the camera. He received training in the Laboratorio de Actores with Carla Calparsoro at the Madrid Institute of Cinema. In recent times he hasn't stopped developing his skills and advancing. In fact he is currently preparing to perform in a play with the director Jorge Gurpegui and is producing a play for children's theatre.
