Artist: Nina

We introduce you, the most fantastic, sweetest, prettiest, friendlinest and most talented 

N I N A !

Nina adores Jacaranda’s in spring bloom, relishes the word pâtisserie, and has an unquenchable thirst for theatre and art. She has engaged in various creative endeavours including pantomime, community theatre, playwriting and more recently physical theatre. In 2010, as a performance trainee with Playback Theatre, she was inspired by the art and craft of connecting people through storytelling. Through Zen Zen Zo, one year ago, Nina was seduced by Butoh theatrical dance and has been enchanted ever since. Each day brings an increased yearning to explore Butoh more deeply and share her experiences with audiences. As a trained Yoga teacher she has found a rich complimentary relationship between the spiritual aspects of Yoga and Butoh. Embodying spiritual practice and philosophy is central to her art. Nina is also an active member of her community contributing to various groups, professionally researches community issues, is a travel extraordinaire, and is forever inspired and mystified by her country of birth, Iran.

p/s: She is also the site manager of the show. Multi-tasking ;)

Behind the scene

As promised, we are rolling out the introduction of all the incredible, magical and sexy people both behind and in front of this production! Dont miss out!

To kick start the easter long weekend, we are introducing the most beautiful, funniest, craziest lightning member! -------------------------------------->

Merlynn Tong.

MERLYNN TONG is the Marketing Manager for this project. She got tangled in the sheets with marketing and advertising while working as an Ad (wo)Man in Singapore and Japan. She has since followed her bizarre and beautiful lust for theatre and found herself in sunny Queensland where she is currently the Education Manger of Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre and has also just completed the 2012 Performance Internship with the company. Her other performing credits include opening Howard Barker's 20 for 20 international festival with her role of the Prisoner in Wounds to the Face. Her marketing credits include working for brands such as Coca-Cola, L'Oréal, Nestlé and many many more. She has serendipitously married her lust her theatre and penchant for marketing to lend her marketing experience to independent shows in the arts. In this role, she strives for full houses, lots of pledges in Pozible and of course non-starving artists (she would give them a ring encased with the world if she could). Merlynn also loves Butoh, Suzuki Method of Actor Training, The Viewpoints, precious moments of connection with fellow human beings, tea, gorgeous spaces (especially if they serve food) and making dirty jokes. In case you're an advertiser and are endlessly charmed by Merlynn's face, she is represented by Brock Management Commercial- book her in.
