Living and playing in Naarm/Melbourne, Sophia (she/her) is a multidisciplinary theatremaker. Moving from Worimi country in regional NSW to train at the VCA, Sophia is very conscious of the importance of financial and geographical access to contemporary art forms and experiences. Sophia’s work and passion centre around immersive, interactive work that is collaborative and accessible and centres responses of the body. She is excited by the possibilities of theatre to transform unexpected spaces, bring people together and offer broader audiences, especially young people or those who haven’t seen much theatre, moments of magic.
A large part of Sophia’s practice is her work with young people, centring play, physicality, and exploration; she has led creative works in school settings and also works with Polyglot theatre. Working with young people reminds her to throw away rigidity and find possibility in everything!
