Trained at: Australasian Dance Collective’ Pre-Professional Program
What was the most significant creative or artistic challenge you faced during your studies, and how did you navigate it? What did you learn from that experience?
The most significant creative challenge I have faced so far was performing alongside ADC’s Company Artists in Hofesh Shechter’s In your rooms for the company’s 40th Anniversary season, Blue. It was challenging to balance my studies while working as a professional artist, but the experience was so invaluable. I got to learn first-hand the realities of rehearsing, producing and staging a show, all of which has been crucial in preparing me to take the next step in my career. I was only able to make the most of this learning experience thanks to the support of my teachers and peers, and the company who were so welcoming and supportive of me.
