It probably says a lot about me that in Year 11, she presented a TEDx talk about the importance of Shakespeare in early childhood education…
So it’s true that she’s a Shakespeare geek, having assisted Sport For Jove
in a number of their Shakespeare Carnivals. She has written and
acted in several comedies and dramas at Melbourne University, and has
had her writing performed at La Mama and Griffin Theatre.

Lotte feels very lucky to be mentored by Suzie Miller in her writing, and
Heather Mitchell in her acting. They have instilled the importance of
responding to all opportunities, and showing up enthusiastically in
moments that challenge her as an artist.

He has worked extensively in the professional and independent scene after graduating in 2017. Highlights include the role of Mark in Monkey Baa Theatre Company’s 2019 remount of Hitler’s Daughter that travelled up and down the east coast of Australia, in Red Line Production’s there will be a climax in 2018, Clarry/Tim in ATYP’s Intersection 2019: Arrival, PTE Yank Akell in director Kriv Stender’s Vietnam War film Danger Close: the Battle of Long Tan, and Eddie in Megan Wilding’s playwrighting debut A Little Piece of Ash at KXT.

Toby is also one half of the clowning duo Rudy & Cuthbert, having created, written, and performed a number of shows at KXT, Old 505, and
Melbourne’s Southbank Theatre, to critical acclaim.

Peter spent his first year out of school studying a Bachelor of Human Services and fantasising about a career in performance – telling stories, changing perspectives, challenging views, and using his voice to impact an audience. His passions, at current, lie on the theatre stage doing shows that are relevant, important and influential, and on the open mic every now and then voicing his opinion and story through poetry.

Mabel has just graduated from the BFA Fine Arts Acting course at NIDA (2019). With theatre credits including Delilah by the Hour directed by Claudia Osbourne at Brand X, Goldilocks written and directed by Michael Gow, Pool (no water) directed by Benjamin Schostakowski, Ah, Tuzenbach: A Melancholic Cabaret directed by Oleg Glushkov, Lulu: A Modern Sex
Tragedy directed by Claudia Osborne and The Bacchae directed by Shannan Ely.

In high school, Mabel was involved in the NSW State Drama Ensemble and Company where she performed at the State Drama Festival and in D.N.A at the Seymour Centre.

In addition to acting, Mabel is a theatre-maker. During her time at NIDA, she created two pieces of verbatim work under her chosen elective, Applied Theatre, called “Tea Time” and “Before Us”. Both these works were created from interviews conducted with young Asian Australians living in the Inner-West and Western Sydney. She is also the recipient of the 2019-2020 BBM Youth Award Scholarship.

She has been conducting individual practise and learning as much as possible independently, with the mindset of growth and improvement.

RoomWorks is Teresa’s first acting project, and she is incredibly excited to participate and put her skills into practice. As an Asian-Australian, she believes it is important to contribute to the industry and add to Asian representation in the media as much as possible to reflect the multicultural Australian population.

Susanna was a member of school performance ensembles as well as the State Drama Ensemble and in Year 11, her self-written HSC monologue was selected for OnStage.

She was the Creative and Performing
Arts Prefect at Sydney Girls High School where she worked to co-ordinate and organise large scale events such as concerts, open nights, musicals, and showcases. Whilst balancing her HSC studies that year, her musicology essay was included in Encore and her performance was
