Our Team

Founder / Director

Natalia Jonasson is an accomplished Artistic Director with a professional background in Television, Film, Choreography, Creative Production and PR/Marketing. First arriving in the Byron Shire community over three decades ago, the region’s spirit of creativity and expression crystallised her desire to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

While Natalia pursued her passion and built on an extensive portfolio of credits – having performed in front of the camera since childhood, she also committed to learning the ins and outs of the business behind the camera. From shooting a headline show at Australian Fashion Week to the heart-stopping pace as unit manager in the newsrooms of Channels Seven and Ten; from choreographing dance seen by millions on national TV, to creating a thriving local dance studio, that grew to be the region’s premier performance school.
