As
the third of five children, Aidan learned from an early age she would
have to work to get people’s attention. Growing up in Bloor West
Village, Toronto she was the April to many a Ninja Turtles skits in
Kindergarten. She quickly realized performing was a way of harnessing
the ‘positive attention’ her parents so desperately wanted
to give her. She made her TV debut as a Dancing Angel on an extremely
memorable Rogers Cable TV Christmas special, and began taking acting
classes at age nine. Although she tried to kick soccer balls, attempted
to hit baseballs and *shudder* ballet pirouettes, acting was the one
thing that stuck. In high school at Humberside CI she formed the first
ever Drama club and directed a completely improvised satire portraying
her teachers and fellow students.
To this day she willingly gives up popularity for humor at the sake
of herself and others.
Aidan has a B.F.A. Specializing in Theatre Performance from Concordia
University. She conquered many productions during this time, including
‘Our Country’s Good’, ‘Haiku’, ‘At
the Crossroads’ and ‘Crave’. Her one regret was never
learning how to do a cartwheel.
In Toronto, Aidan has trained at the Pro Actors Lab, Equity Showcase
Theatre, Bad Dog Theatre and is currently in the Conservatory program
at the Second City Training Centre. She has done a Midwest US tour with
Mad Science and at home she has performed in shows such as ‘Lick
Her’, ‘Ginger’ (Winner of 2008 InspiraTO People’s
Choice Award) and ‘A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer’
at the Toronto Fringe Festival.
Aidan would like to thank her parents for being the most amazing, supportive
and understanding people in the world, her posse and true friend fan
club, Kruh for running her website all the way from Slovenia, the CiS
cast and of course Matt, for this wonderful opportunity.
