Ashley Head

Ashley has always been around a stage. She was enrolled in her first dance class at 2 yrs. old. She remained there for 17 years studying classical ballet and jazz among other styles. Acting was a natural progression from this and she earned her first starring credit in a stage role by the age of 8. At 15 she was one of 500 public school students chosen to participate in the yearly conducted youth opera performance at Carnegie Hall. She continued to study the performing and studio arts - eventually making her way to The University of Texas at Arlington where she studied Art History, Costume Design and the Ancient World. These particular interdisciplinary studies were chosen as a foundation to further her knowledge of Art Direction which she has done as a hobby for various theatres and a few small production companies. In college she continued dancing and began studing film acting - particularly Meisner at The REACT Studio in Dallas. At this point she began dabbling in independent film with one hand while keeping another firmly planted on the stage. With so much going on in the film school at her college she began collaborating with other students studying things on the opposite side of the camera. There she spent alot of time behind the scenes: costuming, location scouting, casting, assisting with production design, and helping her friend Chris Simpson for many long hours in the editing bay. Ashley moved to Los Angeles in 2002. Her Los Angeles Stage credits include 'Dinah' in "The Philadelphia Story" and 'Jessica Welles' in "Communicating Doors" at The Long Beach Playhouses' Studio Theatre.
