Cris Blanco

Cris Blanco was born in Peña Grande, a working-class neighbourhood in Madrid. Although she trained as an actress, she has always developed her own artistic work. She usually performs her own pieces and sometimes acts in films. She has lived in Barcelona since 2012 and is an acting professor at the Dance Conservatoire at Institut del Teatre. Dance is her artistic environment, so her approach to the performing arts is choreographic. She is very fond of cinema, especially sci-fi, and considers her work to be strongly influenced by cinematic language, as well as by visual arts, music, and popular culture. She continues to be drawn to the performing arts because of the mechanisms and conventions of theatre, the blending of genres and formats, and, above all, the contact with the audience.
