Angela Shintani

Actor · b. 1978

Born in a smallish town in Ontario to parents of Japanese heritage, Yukiko has always been a woman of diverse passions and paths. Naturally creative, she graduated from a prominent School of the Arts as a Musical Theatre major, and boasts several years of classical voice training, in addition to an array of dance genres. Never predictable, Yukiko is currently furthering her education, attending university as a Psychology major. As part of her interest with psychology and social change, Yukiko was also involved in the field of social work, supporting adults with developmental disabilities to allow them to live independently in their community. Yukiko has explored her performing side with a variety of roles, from modeling, to appearing in a bathtub full of fake blood for her star turn in a student film. She is equally comfortable behind the camera, and exhibited her photographic installation piece exploring psychological themes, printed on broken glass and displayed as a large mobile.
