Originally from Albury, New South Wales, Samara has been surrounded by the creative arts from a young age, establishing a love for dance and music, then singing, acting and circus performance. During her time at the Arts Academy, she performed in the musical The White Rose (ensemble) directed by Janice Muller and musical direction by Claire Healy. She has also been directed by Bagryana Popov in The Lower Depths (Kvashnya). Samara co-devised two original works, Blank Slate and Unrequited that were performed in A Seat at the Periodic Table. Samara performed in Pippin (Dance Captain/ensemble) directed by Kristen von Bibra, and is excited to further explore choreography in the future.
