Acting is a wild journey. It’s a lot of hard work but the
buzz of the job makes it all worthwhile, says Rayanna Dibs. She’s that British
actress we’ve seen in so many things: Stage plays and films. It was a pleasure
to see the witty Ms. Dibs in Nell Dunn’s stage play Steaming, in which she played Josie, the lower class good-time
girl, who is uneducated but bright, divorced from a criminal and who loves sex
and all the other creature comforts.
Rayanna has worked on many short films such as the Cannes
short film selection Schizophrenia Me and
Me directed by Howy Bratherton , and the Simon Rickards film Roads. She also played the lead in the
short, Homeland, which was filmed on
location in Los Angeles.
Rayanna’s lovely face and bold, yet refined talent have also
brightened up several feature films. In The
Urge she played Megan, a funny mess of a girl looking for love. In The Days In Between which is being
distributed this year, she was the ‘Know it all’ character Henrietta.
Rayanna’s poise and confidence in every situation
demonstrates how self-possessed she is. She
is devoted to mastering the art of acting, but also herself, which is a rare find
indeed. She has said that she wants the audience to perceive her acting as
entertaining and passionate and each role she plays illustrates that she has
certainly succeeded in that.
She has had many achievements but the one she treasures the
most at this point in her career is being directed by Danny Boyle at the
opening ceremonies at the Olympics in London. By the way, even though the opening ceremonies took three months of rehearsal, Rayanna
wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. She says it was an honor to be
part of that night and part of Olympic history. Plus, getting to work with
Oscar winning director Danny Boyle was pretty cool, too.
