Rhiannon Stacey

Rhiannon Stacey is a dance artist who trained with the inaugural cohort of Australasian Dance Collective's Pre-Professional Program (2025), where she earned an Advanced Diploma of Professional Dance (Elite Performance). Her training is grounded in strong classical technique and expanded through contemporary and multidisciplinary performance practices.

She completed her Bachelor of Performing Arts (Dance) at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), with a semester of international study at Taipei National University of the Arts, where she trained traditional Chinese dance and performed repertoire including Walking Mad by Johan Inger and Solitude by Mario Schröder. Earlier training includes the Australian Ballet School ITP Program and extensive classical training.

Rhiannon’s performance experience spans devised and repertory works across contemporary and ballet traditions. Recent highlights include self-devised site-specific work bad things come in threes, presented at the Australasian Dance Educators Awards, and performing in the 2025 ADC Pre-Professional Program graduation season Kinesis featuring Slug (Sam Coren), Hold and Seep (Alison Currie), and Aftermath (Amy Hollingsworth & Jack Lister). Her repertoire includes works by Hofesh Shechter, Jiří Kylián, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Leigh Warren, Tao Ye, and Mario Schröder.

She has further developed her practice through professional intensives and masterclasses with Ballet Preljocaj, Melanie Lane, CO;3, and Australasian Dance Collective. As a teacher, she encourages self-empowerment through improvisation and choreographic freedom, believing these elements foster confidence and a deeper understanding of dance. Her choreography explores dark, whimsical worlds that reflect her personality, aiming to fully immerse both dancers and audiences alike.
