Emma Miley was born in nipaluna/Hobart and attended classical dance from an early age, culminating in five years of formal study in dance and movement at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA). While continuing to maintain a strong interest in dance she has integrated her formal dance training into her highly regarded and diverse yoga practice and teaching which takes her throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Emma’s yoga practice embodies her passion and respect for the environment - supporting participants to find balance and groundedness - delivering events such as nature yoga retreats around lutriwita and specialised yoga courses. Emma has maintained and extended her dance practice, working with The Nelipot Collective since 2017, which has created many opportunities to perform around lutriwita/Tasmania. A highlight of this has been the strength, bonds, friendships and connections that have emerged and developed amongst the core and previous collaborators ranging from musicians, dramaturgs, dancers, costume and set designers, and festival convenors. In addition, Emma has performed at large events such as Dark Mofo's Night Mass. Emma is now sharing her love and knowledge of classical ballet by teaching at Industrie Performing Arts.

Leo is a culturally and linguistically diverse performing artist residing in Lutruwita/Tasmania. His practice is dedicated to education in the Performing Arts, with a strong focus on the principles of the Alexander Technique. Leo fosters learning experiences in interactive environments that rebuild kinetic awareness from a creative and gentle perspective for diverse age groups. His acting training in Chile led him to discover the expressive potential of the vocal phenomenon. He travelled to France to study Vocal Performance and Choreographic Theatre at the PanTheatre School in Paris and continued to explore creative movement expression for performers by studying Contemporary Dance at the Laban Centre in London and with Claude Brumachon and Benjamin Lamarche in France. This created a learning curve rich in technical knowledge and compassion, helping him understand each individual's uniqueness. As Leo gathered more knowledge regarding human functioning and its expressiveness, he found in the Alexander Technique a way to convey harmony in the experience of being present in what we do and a clear process to apply to any activity in life. He travelled to his beloved Australia to study Alexander Technique Teacher Training at The School for F.M. Alexander Studies in Melbourne. Since graduating as a Teacher of the Technique, Leo has been working with groups and individuals, helping them understand the beautiful complexity of human design from a creative perspective. Before moving to Tasmania, Leo was the Alexander Technique teacher at the main acting studios in Melbourne, fulfilling his dream of applying this process to the performing arts.
