Since her early childhood, Dalia Shawky knew that she wanted to be an actress in the future. Growing to become the acting talent she is today, Dalia has been appearing on a string of recent drama hits with raved performance playing diverse roles, winning the hearts of the audiences and critics alike.
She realized her penchant for arts since her early childhood years during school days. Devoted to her dream of becoming an actress, Dalia got engaged in drama classes, script-writing activities and stage performances. Having been devoted to her dream of becoming an actress, she majored in Theatre and Marketing at the AUC in Egypt, where she was mentored by the salient stage director and professor of drama and theatre, Mahmoud El Louzy. During college, Dalia marked her first leading role in different plays; The Game of Love & Chance, The Crucible, Spring Awakening, Measure for Measure, Old Saybrook, Untangled, and Daka Bedaka. In 2015, Shawky was the only AUC student to be picked at Kevin Spacey's Homegrown initiative where she was trained by Spacey in a live performance of the play, Dhow Under the Sun, with the presence of the ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah. She also starred in different shorts such as: Written, Oxytocin, and Yellow Jacket.
Shortly afterwards, the theatre-trained actress was picked to land her small-screen debut in the serial drama Kaeno Embareh (2018), where she played Nahed Rostom. Marking one of her most remembered performances, Dalia excelled in playing the role of the young, middle-class, ambitious dancer that audiences still refer to her by the name of the character to date. Since then, a steady stream of increasingly bigger works has followed on her repertoire, namely: Al-Nehaya (2020), Taw'am Rouhy (2020), and Coco Chanel play (2021), opposite the diva Sherihan- which happens to be the young star's muse. In the same year, Dalia landed in the leading role opposite Fathy Abdelwahab in Phobia, where she played a psychologically unstable girl who is phobic to leave home following the murder of her mother. Complimenting her keenness to play diverse roles, Shawky's exquisite acting talent made her stand out in skillfully depicting the young phobic girl's anxiety disorders and complex conflicts on-screen, which appealed to the audience that the episode marked the highest views on the platform.
In 2022, Dalia flung fast into the public eye in Netflix's latest Arabic-language original, Finding Ola, starring alongside Hend Sabri and Hany Adel. Her latest works include the Ramadan TV dramas in 2022; Ahlam Saeeda by director Amr Arafa, where she stars alongside Yousra and Ghada Adel, and El Aa'edoun by director Ahmed Nader Galal, starring opposite Amir Karara, and Amina Khalil. Dalia is not only a talented actress, but also an outstanding dancer. She has been a dance prodigy since a young age, excelling in ballet, jazz, salsa, hip-hop and different styles of contemporary dance. As a grown up, she attended several dance classes in high-profile institutions, including: Samia Allouba's Dance Studio, Cairo Contemporary Dance School, and the Cairo Contemporary Dance Center.
Dalia's passion for fashion cannot be unnoticed, as her unique dressing sense has been frequently voted among the best red carpet moments in different festivals; including: El Gouna Film Festival, and Cairo International Film Festival.
