Olivia Adams is a proud Wulli Wulli woman from and based in Meanjin (Brisbane). Olivia graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts: Dance from the Queensland University of Technology and has since built a career as an independent artist, dancer, choreographer and producer. Olivia has spent most of 2023 performing in Karul Project’s 15 stop national tour for SILENCE while also working as a producer for BlakDance. Over the years she has also performed with Digi Youth Arts, Polytoxic, and assisted with the delivery of Bangarra Dance Theatre’s youth program Rekindling in regional communities.

Last year Olivia had the exciting opportunity to perform in Germany for Documenta 15 as a part of Richard Bell’s Tent Embassy, present at Western Arts Alliance’s Advancing Indigenous Performance symposium in Calgary and begin the development of her first full length work Matriarchs. Olivia is proud to work in and on works that champion First Nations voices and stories and is passionate about continuing the practice of healing and storytelling through dance.
