2 roles
Lena is a college student in a long-term relationship that has become controlling and emotionally harmful. Though she has ignored her growing sense that something is wrong, an opportunity forces her to confront what she truly wants and whether she has the courage to choose herself. This is a quiet, intimate, emotionally driven role relying heavily on subtle physical performance and expression rather than dialogue.
Gemma is impulsive, guarded, and caught in a dangerous cycle of desperation and survival. As the consequences of her choices close in, she must confront the inner voice she has spent years ignoring. This darker, more chaotic role requires an outward toughness balanced by underlying fear and vulnerability. Like Lena, it relies heavily on physical and emotional performance.
