“Michelle’s great strength is her willingness to lay herself bare, to be completely vulnerable to an audience… A master of comic timing”

– Fringe Review (A Modern Guide to Heroism & Sidekickery, 2018)

Michelle has been performing on stage since her early teens, her early roles including a wall, a chicken and a talking zucchini. Following this passion for being the centre of she completed a BA Applied Theatre with Griffith University in 2011. Since graduating Michelle performed in a number of independent productions in Brisbane, Australia; working with companies including Pentimento Productions (THE TRUTH ABOUT KOOKABURRAS, UNDER THE GOD TREE), Vulcana Women’s Circus (THE MAGNIFICENT MONSTER CIRUCS, TIPPING POINT, FLUID), and Black Fox Theatre (THE JEDI RETURNETH, CAPTIVE, OR WHAT YOU WILL).

In 2016 she moved to the UK for 18 months or so, to see what she thought. Eight years on she says she’s still thinking, but in the meantime has caved out a space for herself in the fringe and immersive theatre scene. Working with companies including Netflix/Mycooto, Dank Parish and The Bureau of Silly Ideas she has developed a real passion for immersive theatre. Between 2017 and 2019 she toured her solo-show A MODERN GUIDE TO HEROISM AND SIDEKICKERY and has also performed with with Screen Rebels in REBITH (PERSEPHONE: A FRANKENSTEIN STORY) and at the Edinburgh Fringe in PRIVATE MANNING GOES TO WASHINGTON with New York Company The Representatives.
