April Vardy

April began dancing at the age of four at North Shore Dance Academy, the local ballet school in St.Ives, Sydney. At the beginning of 2013 she moved to Perth to complete a Bachelor of Dance at Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) and then in 2016 completed an Honours degree as part of LINK Dance Company also at WAAPA, graduating in November 2016.

Since then she has choreographed a dance work as part of Fringe 2018 called ‘Shall we get comfy?’ at Paper Mountain for three sell out nights! Performed at PSAS with Brooke Leeder & Co. in ‘Structural Dependency’ in December 2018. Performed and choreographed a solo dance work, as part of a double bill inFringe 2019 called ‘Susan & The place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I create it’. Lastly choreographed and performed in a show called ‘In Cahoots’ as part of Fringe Festival 2020, which was awarded WA overall winner of the Dance & Physical Theatre category.

Since graduating she has also taught dance at a number of schools around Perth including, La Salle College, John Curtin College of the Arts, Rossmoyne Senior High School and Swan River Ballet.

The more I create the more I find the need to collaborate with other artists from different fields to add more layers to my works. Everyone has so much to offer and I look forward to continuing this discovering with people surrounding me bringing their skills and talents to the space.
