About.
Annika Jansson is a deeply intuitive and emotionally attuned actress whose calm presence and quiet intensity bring depth to every role she inhabits. Grounded in the Meisner technique, she approaches acting as a living, breathing exchange — rooted in listening, brave emotional truth, and the courage to follow instinct. Known for her mystical calm and serious commitment to her craft, Annika thrives in collaborative environments where creative dialogue with directors can shape and refine a performance. Though her heart lies in drama, where she can explore the full spectrum of human emotion and connection, her sensitivity to the moment also lends itself to comedy. Whether playing with stillness or with spontaneity, Annika brings a steady reliability to set: always prepared, always open, and always ready to explore.
