In a society that is currently fighting the good fight of equality, we are surrounded by teachings of feminism and going deeper into what it means to be a woman. In times like these we often find ourselves seeking out feminine role models who we can look to for inspiration. Sara Canning is the ideal role model. Intelligent, creative, determined and hardworking, it is easy to admire this duel actress-writer extraordinaire and I am forever grateful for the hour I was afforded to pick her brain.
You may recognize Sara from a number of television shows, from The Vampire Diaries to A Series of Unfortunate Events and from many movies inbetween. With a career that started in 2008, Sara has spent the last ten years forging a noteworthy path in the acting industry.
In our interview Sara shared with me how she went from acting to writing, quite literally flipping the script. As we dove into stories about her life, her career and her values, she shared exceptional advice for actors and writers alike.
INTRODUCING SARA CANNING
You wouldn’t know it by her lack of an Atlantic-Canadian accent, but the actress/writer was born and raised in Newfoundland until her family moved to Alberta when she was eleven. “I actually have an accent when I talk to my parents! I was recently in Newfoundland and [the accent] definitely exists,” she tells me, laughing. “It kind of comes and goes depending on whether I’m talking to someone from the East or West coast….or if I’ve had a couple of drinks.”
As a child, there were no friends or family in Sara’s life to guide her into the industry. She found herself there by way of her school theatre group and promptly fell in love. The experience gave her a new understanding of community and freed her in a way she never expected. “I was incredibly shy, so the fact that I auditioned at all amazes me. In the first play I did I was the only seventh grade student among all of the older kids who participated in it. They sort of took me under their wing and I just felt this real permission in it. It was amazing and so liberating. It was the beginning of what my life is now.”
Her time in theatre left a lasting mark. When Sara turned nineteen she made the decision to leave her home in Alberta and make the move to Vancouver where she would attend film school. “I made the move into film and television when I was nineteen while I was enrolled in a film program. Since then that’s the brunt of what I’ve been doing in the industry.”
