Australian Dance Theatre has been an integral part of my life – from a young artist working with Meryl Tankard for five years, then dancing with Garry Stewart for many years and now as the company’s Associate Artistic Director. I have learned so many invaluable things about my artform and been afforded incredible opportunities, performing throughout South Australia, Australia and the world. Now as part of the company’s artistic team I can pass on my knowledge and experience to the company artists. Dancers of the calibre of those at ADT are rare and precious, they are creative, hardworking artists committed wholeheartedly to dancing at Australian Dance Theatre. Dancer Champions are vital and mean so very much on a personal level to the artists and the company.
