Mexican actress Julia Landey has a wide-ranging career as a performer, educator, and entrepreneur. She earned a degree in acting at the University of Guadalajara and went on to win the 2015 Proyecta Production award, given by the state of Jalisco’s Ministry of Culture, for a monologue that she wrote and performed in.

Throughout her career, Julia has explored many creative mediums, including clowning, puppet theater, and film. She has participated in multiple international puppet festivals in countries around the world, with shows aimed at young audiences, and has been a storyteller in the children’s pavilion for the Guadalajara International Book Fair for six years. An enthusiastic and dedicated educator, she has primarily worked with elementary students as a teacher and leading workshops at the Dallas Museum of Art’s Go Van Gogh program.

Outside of performance and teaching, she and her husband apply their creativity to food. They have a catering company that combines a culinary experience with their culture. Julia moved to Dallas four years ago and looks forward to her first season with the Cliburn.
