From early childhood, Noy Marom knew she wanted to be an artist. Singing, writing and performing, friends and family were her audience.“I was a young little dreamer with some big dreams,” she said. But as the Israeli born actress got older, inspiration derived from a greater purpose and propelled her into a career.
“I found so much comfort and meaning by watching different characters and narratives on the big screens and understanding different truths about myself and the world. It made me realize how important it is to tell important stories, make people understand themselves better and see their reflection,” said the Brooklyn resident.
So by middle school, she was taking acting classes and progressed to on-camera work in her 20s. From there, the dreams got more far reaching. “I decided to move to New York and fully pursue acting. I attended different studios such as The Barrow Group and Grace Kiley Acting and eventually found myself at The Stella Adler Studio of Acting. In the Eve Con program, it was an amazing experience that truly shaped and enriched my artistic journey,” Marom revealed.
She singled out one teacher in particular. “My time studying with the incredible actor and teacher Grace Kiley was really special for me and truly helped me find a safe place to explore and grow. I started studying with Grace shortly after I moved to New York and her studio has truly become my artistic home throughout the years,” she clarified.
Marom also took education and career into her own hands. “Fresh out of school, I had so much hunger to create and perform, and as lucky as I was with the opportunities that came my way, I also wanted to have control over my creative journey,” she remembered.
So with a group of artist friends, they created the Virago Ensemble, which was an International all-female theater company. “We aspired to showcase women's voices by sharing old and new works created by female-identifying writers. We produced and performed in theater projects all over New York City and got great reviews. It was an important learning experience and a wonderful way to stay creative and active in between different projects and productions,” Marom explained.
Of course, there was a bigger stage she had to learn after getting off the plane. “Arriving in NYC was challenging to say the least. It takes a long time to truly understand the rhythm of this crazy city and to find your place in the artistic community. I was fortunate enough to encounter amazing creatives and artistic collaborators over the years. But it definitely takes time to find your center and to understand the way the industry works,” said the actress.
The payoff can’t be beat, though. “It’s as exciting and inspiring as it gets. I got to work with so many amazing artists from different countries and to tell stories told by unique and powerful storytellers,” she said.
The characters she’s played have moved her too. “I have a warm spot for them all. The process truly taught me new things about myself every time. This is one of the core reasons that I truly love what I do,” Marom reflected. “It’s inspiring to make it all come to life and unfold a little differently every time,”
Still, she does have a favorite. “I really enjoyed playing Princess Kathrine in a recent Henry V production. “It was a wonderful character to take on and had a large cast featuring so many talented actors,” she recalled. “It was also a unique challenge since many parts of the script were in French.”
Her resume is also filled to the brim. She recently worked on Generations by Carson McKenna, which was performed at the Vino theater in Brooklyn and also took part in a play called Dealers. By Angie Kristic, the production was performed at a unique space called AP Gallery in Chelsea, and an immersive theatrical production called If Walls Could Talk by RJ Theater was staged in Brooklyn.
As for her film work, she was in short called Song For May that premiered at the Lighthouse International Festival, and a Vered Rodriguez web-series called GTS.
Looking forward, the actress has a number of projects coming up. She’ll be in a feature and a short with long-time collaborator Vered Rodriguez, and the fall has her taking part in another reading of Dealers by Angie Kristic. In addition, Marom will take part in a Carson McKenna play about the dating world in New York City, and like the skyline, there’s no limits for this passionate soul.
