Hi, I'm Jorja! I am a qualified performing arts teacher offering tutoring in drama, dance, and singing.
I'm currently in my second year of study for a Bachelor of Performing Arts (Music Theatre) at the Federation University Arts Academy.
I graduated from Wanneroo Secondary College in 2022 with a WACE (Western Australian Certificate of Education) and Cert III in Business.
In 2022 I also earned my Comdance Theatrical and Performing Arts Teachers' Certificate.
After taking a gap year to travel and work I packed up all my things and moved 3311km away from home to a town I'd never been to. A year and a half later here I am!
I have been teaching dance, drama, and singing since 2020. As a tutor my focus is helping you discover who you are as an artist so that you can thrive. I believe my teaching style is the perfect balance of technique and spontaneity. I place emphasis on not only physical skill but content knowledge. All art stems from vast culture & history and it's important for an artist to know what they are presenting.
Studied dance styles include:
- CSTD jazz (modern/broadway)
- CSTD tap
- RAD/CSTD ballet
- contemporary
- lyrical
Singing styles:
- Musical Theatre
- Oppretta
- Contemporary
Acting styles/techniques:
- Stanislavski
- Chekov
- Linklater
- Laban
- Commedia dell'arte
- Suzuki
I have a valid WWCC in Victoria and Western Australia.
Please don't hesitate to reach out, I would love to help out in any way I can!
