So, you want to
get to know me?
Well, let’s start with the big picture…
Sabrina Carlier is an actor, director, and theatrical multi-hyphenate. Whether on stage or screen, she commits to observing the world, discovering the universalities of life, and sharing authentic stories with audiences. Throughout any process, Sabrina prides herself on bringing a curious mind, open heart, and engaged spirit to the room.
But there’s so much more…
A little girl, the Jurassic Park theme song, and an inability to pronounce “Shakespeare” in the Park just wanting to tell a story.
Born in New Haven, Connecticut and raised in a bilingual English-French household, Sabrina has always been one to engage in cross cultural conversations. While growing up herself, she helped her mother in taking care of her grandparents, often spending afternoons with them watching Turner Classic Movies and listening to their stories.
Her first introduction to the arts came in ballet; however, after an injury in elementary school that forced her to take a step back from dance, a drama teacher, Julian Schlusberg, walked her into the blackbox theatre at the Foote School, and said, “Welcome home.” Little did she know at that point how true those words would become.
After years of mentorship with Julian Schlusberg, she continued her studies at Choate Rosemary Hall’s Theater Arts Concentration under Tracy Ginder-Delventhal & Deighna Deriu.
Where did it all start?
Since then, she has moved to the city to pursue a BFA in Drama at NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a minor in Business of Entertainment, Media, and Technology.
Sabrina has trained in Practical Aesthetics at Atlantic Acting School for primary and advanced training, even spending a summer with the Atlantic Summer in Vermont program.
Joining a selective cohort of her peers, Sabrina also attended the International Theatre Workshop in Amsterdam, where she trained in Shakespeare, Commedia dell'Arte, clown, physical theater, post-modern dance, Roy Hart voice work, Acting in Real Time, and devised theater.
She will be continuing her studies this fall with NYU Tisch’s Playwriting in London program.
