María Cascales

Born with the new millenium in January 2000 in Albacete, Spain, she always knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. At the age of 8, her family moved to London where she fell in love with the theatre. When she returned to Spain, at the age of 12, she searched for acting classes in her small hometown. Since then, she has only thought about how to become a better actress and improve as a person. The Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático de Murcia has been her greatest source of learning for both. Her studies include singing, music, dance, stage fencing, dramaturgy, etc.

Among her most recent projects is the play Una Storia Da Vívere, based on La función por hacer by Miguel del Arco. It premiered at the ESAD in Murcia and then went on to the Teatro Romea, the auditorium in Cartagena and the theatre festival for higher schools of dramatic art: ESADFest – Cáceres.

In January 2023, she completed her acting internship with the National Dramatic Center in the play Fundamentally Fantasies for Resistance by Alfredo Sanzol.

For her final project, she carried out an analysis, translation into Spanish, adaptation and staging of the play: Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, best known for its television adaptation by Amazon and the BBC.
This work includes an investigation into the use of comedy to amplify dramatic impact, the creation of a complex female character, and the effect of choosing certain words over others, taking into account the context of the original work and the objective with which it was written when making a faithful adaptation.

In 2024, she continued her training at various acting schools such as La Central de Cine, Actores Madrid and Estudio Di Pace. She has also participated in a variety of projects such as short films with local directors, content for Cambridge Spain's social media and has even taken part in a film at La Ciudad de La Luz Studios in Alicante.
