Liliana García Sosa (born 17 October 1957) is an Uruguayan actress with a distinguished film, theatre, and television career in Chile and Uruguay. She has been an honorary cultural associate of the Uruguayan embassy in Chile since the first government of Tabaré Vázquez.[1]

Biography

In 1981 Liliana García graduated from the School of Dramatic Art of the Teatro Circular de Montevideo – with subsequent specialization of teaching in performing arts – and in 1976, from the School of Dramatic Art of the El Galpón Theater Institution.

Simultaneously, she studied Law at the University of the Republic, where she advocated, as a student leader, the conquest of co-government and the autonomy of the University. She also developed an important presence as a trade union leader in the Uruguayan Society of Actors. Once in Chile, she continued her union work (SIDARTE) and was part of the creation of the Chileactores management company, of which she was a board member for nine years.[2]

García conducts workshops and artistic training courses nationally and internationally, with prominent figures such as Eugenio Barba, Aderbal Junior, Jose Struch, Patrizia Ariza, Santiago Garcia, Atahualpa del Cioppo, and Nelly Goitiño.

She joined the stable cast of the Teatro Circular de Montevideo from 1977 to 1987.[3]

She has worked with prestigious directors of the Uruguayan scene, including Júver Salcedo, Omar Grasso, Héctor Manuel Vidal, Santiago Introini, Dervy Vilas, and Jorge Curi. In Uruguay, in 2012, she worked under the direction of Sebastián Barrios.

In 1987, the year in which García moved to Chile, she continued her theatrical activity (in Chile she has performed in plays under the direction of Delfina Guzmán, Pete Brooks, Liliana Ross, Mateo Iribarren, Cristián Campos, and Rodrigo Muñoz, among others) and began to develop a prominent television and film career. The latter was born in Uruguay, where she participated in short films of the Cinemateca Uruguaya, with directors such as Juan Carlos Rodríguez Castro. In Chile she appeared in a dozen films, directed by Raúl Ruiz (France), Gonzalo Justiniano (Chile), Esteban Schroeder (Uruguay), Jörg Grünler (Germany), Sebastián Lelio (Chile), and others. In television, she worked on more than 50 fiction productions between 1988 and 2012, on Chilean channels 7, 9, 11, and 13.

In 1989 she recorded the nationally and internationally awarded play Doña Ramona for an Ibero-American theatre cycle on Televisión Española (TVE).

García has appeared in a score of theatrical titles, many of them with long seasons and international tours, as happened with Doña Ramona, directed by Jorge Curi, with seasons in Spain and Argentina. This was also the case with the play Sangre, directed by Pete Brooks, which was a month at the Young Vic Theater in London; it also toured much of England and Scotland.

Since 2002, she has given workshops and seminars as a teacher and as a rapporteur. At the University of Arts, Sciences, and Communications (UNIACC), she has taught in the fields of Baccalaureate of Cinema and Television, Audiovisual School, and in the School of Theater and Scenic Communication. At the same university, she gave workshops for graduates of different disciplines.

Due to her proven and committed career, in 2008 Uruguayan President Tabaré Vázquez appointed her honorary cultural attaché of the Uruguayan embassy in Chile, a position she continues to hold. In 2009, the Official Service of Broadcasting, Television, and Entertainment (SODRE) honoured her by exhibiting her portrait in the third edition of the photographic exhibition Mujeres Uruguayas 3, which paid tribute to women from Uruguay who have been recognized in very different areas of national work.

In October 2014 García starred in a Chilean adaptation of the work El Diccionario, by Spanish playwright Manuel Calzada Pérez, at the Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral (GAM), directed by the same playwright, who was awarded that year with the National Dramatic Literature Award of Spain. The play is a kind of dramatized biography of the librarian María Moliner, author of the Diccionario de uso del español. It had a new run at the GAM in August 2015,[4] after showing at the Solís Theatre in Montevideo that April.[5]

Formal education

García studied at the School of Dramatic Art of the El Galpón Theater Institution from 1974 to 1976. She began her professional development as an actress in 1976, being a student of dramatic art.

She graduated from the School of Dramatic Art of the Teatro Circular de Montevideo with subsequent specialization of the teaching of scenic art (1977–1981).

She studied at the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, University of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. One year before finishing her law degree, she left the university for her transfer to Chile.

gollark: Initially.

gollark: They presumably want to teach things which people have more intuition for.

gollark: It's not just that.

gollark: See, as optical systems are invertible, instead of having the orbital mind control laser transfer control instructions from a GTech™ control cuboid to someone's brain, they can equivalently just transfer control instructions from someone's brain to a temporarily created simulated mind, which can have its instructions read out and then be destroyed.

gollark: I'm going *next* year, but because UK I have to apply this year.
