text: # Sibylle Blanc
  
  Sibylle Blanc (born January 3, 1974 in Aubonne, Vaud) is a French-speaking Swiss actress, writer and director who is actively involved in theatrical, film, television and radio productions in her native Switzerland as well as in nearby France.
  
  Her first name is easily misspelt and she is sometimes wrongly credited as Sybille Blanc.
  
  ## Personal life
  
  Blanc is the daughter of Pierre-Alain Blanc who is a former mayor of Aubonne and a teacher of physical education. Sport is important to her father who organised a triathlon in Aubonne every year. As part of her fitness routine she regularly plays badminton with her father.
  
  She lives in a charming sixth floor apartment in a building without an elevator. "C'est pratique, j'ai trouvé un appartement avec fitness intégré! (It's practical, I've found an apartment with fitness built in!)" she said jokingly in an interview with Wladimir Bianchi She first came across her apartment when she went there to read for her first professional theatrical role as Cordélia in King Lear. She fell in love with it immediately. Several years later she saw in a newspaper, next to an article about herself, an advertisement that the apartment was available.
  
  As well as fitness Blanc also takes her diet very seriously and eats primarily fruit and steamed vegetables and tries to drink two litres of tea every day.
  
  ## Career
  
  Blanc studied dramatic arts at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art Dramatique (ESAD) in Geneva graduating in 1996. Early in her professional career she appeared on several children's TV programs produced by the TSR including Smash and Bus et compagnie. Her first major role came with the TSR produced sitcom (in French)Bigoudi where she played Laura for 50 episodes from 1996 to 1998. Since that time she has frequently appeared on television programs produced by the French-language Swiss national TV station, TSR.
  
  She has a tremendous ability to play a diverse range of roles which was brought out in her portrayal of the various female characters in Matt Cameron's play Ruby Moon and in the numerous comedy cabaret shows (La Revue 2000, Les nouvelles brèves de comptoir and La Revue de Cuche et Barbezat) which she has performed in. In the latter and in the musical Irma la Douce she was able to display her strong talent for singing and dancing. She has played numerous classical characters in plays by such authors as Shakespeare, Wilde, Miller, Beckett, Labiche and Pagnol as well as more modern roles in plays by authors such as Ruccello, Cameron and Dear. Blanc is fluent in both English and French and has even played an American in Hazanov's film Salade(s) Russe(s).
  
  She was the lead singer in an innovative local Geneva based band, Booty Machine, between 2008 and 2009.
  
  On top of acting and singing she has also co-hosted the morning radio shows Le 6-9 on Radio NRJ in 2001 and Les Matinales on Lausanne FM from 2006 to 2007. Since its formation in 2008 she has been the voice of Lausanne based radio station LFM(in French) and she has appeared numerous times on the Radio Télévision Suisse comedy show Les Dicodeurs.
  
  She has hosted many events. Notable amongst these are GRAND (Grand Prix Romand de la Création - an award ceremony for outstanding work in the field of communications in the French part of Switzerland) in 2011 and 2013 and the second largest stage (originally called Le Chapiteau and presently called Les Arches) at the Paleo Festival between 2000 and 2017.
  
  Since turning 40 she has earned her bachelor's degree in Linguistics and Psychology and her master's degree in Speech Therapy at the University of Geneva. She also announced at a showing of the film "Sam" in 2015 that she was working on a script for a future film.
