Adamina Carden
- Actress
Adamina was born on 14th December 1989 to Christene Loweth and Greg Carden in Stevenage Hospital, Hertfordshire, UK and raised for the first three years of her life in the nearby Hitchin. Her brother, Max, was born in 1991 and the family moved to New Zealand, to the city of Lower Hutt, near Wellington in 1993 where her sister, Olivia, was then born in 1994 in their family home. Here Adamina attended Belmont Playcentre, followed by Belmont Primary School.
In 1998, the family moved to another suburb and Adamina was accepted into a private girls' school Chilton St James on a church scholarship, where she gained a real appreciation for performing arts. The scholarship funding was reduced early and she moved to the local public school Hutt Valley High School for her secondary education and was heavily involved in the drama scene, whilst also studying art and science.
In February 2008 Adamina went to the University of Otago, Dunedin, to study a BSc in Chemistry with a minor in theatre. She initially started her studies with the intention to become a forensic scientist, but maintained a strong involvement in the theatre scene, both through her studies and extracurricular pursuits. Throughout her studies she was actively involved in many theatre productions and performed every year in the university's student revue The Capping Show, in 2011 acting as assistant producer. She graduated in December 2011 with a 2:1 BSc (Hons), and made the decision to migrate to London to pursue a career in as an actor.
Adamina moved to the UK in July 2012 and lived with family friends outside of London, before eventually moving to the city in September that year. She performed in several theatre productions, including the 2015 Olivier nominated production of Adventures in Wonderland by Les Enfants Terribles at the Waterloo Vaults. She was also involved in several short films, including the German language film Fin, made in Hamburg in 2015.
In October 2018, Adamina moved to Vancouver, BC to find work in the film scene. She was most recently involved in the TV Mini-series Oh My God!.
