Notes

UK Citizen (dual with Australia) and British passport. Mother to my adorable, hilarious, demanding 4-year-old son, Leo. Erica returned to Melbourne in 2014 after 7 years in London. In the UK she trained with Niki Flacks and Scott Williams at The Impulse Company in 2011-2014 and was mentored by Scott to teach the Impulse approach to the technique. She was a core ensemble member of International Theatre Company [Foreign Affairs] where her roles included Kristine Linde in A Doll’s House, Leocadia in Hands Around, Masha in To Moscow With Love and Waiting on Shakespeare. Whilst in the UK she taught physical theatre and circus skills at The National Centre for Circus Arts and in 2013 became 1 of 2 trainers in the UK selected and mentored by Cirque Du Soleil to deliver their Social Circus Training program. She currently teaches the Meisner technique for Impulse Company Australia in Melbourne as well as "Acting With Passion" the work of Niki Flacks (who also trained her to teach her work) Erica also holds a BA in Musical Theatre Performance and has numerous professional choreography credits, highlights including The Australasian Premiere of A New Brain for Blackbird Productions, Falsettos and the 2010-2011 UK Tour of Girls Night The Musical, by Louise Roche for Goodnights Entertainment.
