I have experience modeling, including some high-profile print jobs: Redken, Sephora, Garnier, and hosting work: Clinique France. More details available on my website, www.mathildedratwa.com

I have extensive acting experience which is detailed on my online resume (www.nycastings.com/mathildedratwa)

I have appeared onstage at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, La Monnaie (the Beligan National Opera House), the Cochrane Theatre in London and the Cambridge Arts Theatre, amongst others. In New York I have worked with the award-winning LAByrinth Theater Company, Target Margin, 3LD, New Georges and The Esentials. I am a BATS company member at the Flea.

I am currently shooting a short and a feature film in New York. I have also appeared in commercials and industrials for Playstation, FinalFour Productions and Garnier, a music video (Keynes vs Hayek) and I have done print shoots for Kalao and Redken.

My training is from Drama Centre London (MFA in Classical Acting) and from the Barrow Group in NYC.

Last year I was in a terrible situation: living in New York with a work visa. If I quit my job, I had 30 days to leave the country... My boss knew this and abused the situation, asking me to work ridiculous hours and not paying me. So I decided to quit after all. However, I had a boyfriend in New York and didn't want to leave... So I decided to apply for an "extraordinary artist visa". I managed to get a huge portfolio together in a year. And now here I am, back in New York, and my acting career has taken off as a direct result of the challenges I had to overcome. I'm now making a living from my craft, without a day job. There's more, too... I'll tell you if you pick me :) Thanks, Mathilde. (check out my website: www.mathildedratwa.com)
