Tatyana Figueiredo

I am from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since I was a child, watching actors perform on TV and on stage have inspired me to become an actress. As my passion blossomed throughout the years, I decided to attend a 4-year theater college at Anhembi Morumbi University and a 3-year acting course for TV and Cinema at Wolf Maya. While studying, I became a member of a theatre group called Cia. Hojerizah, now called Escola Artaud, where I volunteered as an actress and I was hired as an acting coach. Soon, I was performing several times on stage and in short films, including Julie directed by Sergio Minehira who cast Johnas Oliva and I as the lead actors. The short film won several awards in film festivals, including best actors. Eventually, I also won a scholarship to Fatima Toledo Studios, a very well know school run by Fatima Toledo, director and acting coach who's credits include her famous film Cidade de Deus (City of God), by coming in first place with a monologue that I performed, called 4:48h Psic
