Lucas Marie (Actor, Dancer, Choreographer) Contact: 0451088600 | [email protected] Location: Perth, Western Australia http://lucasmarie.com/ PERSONAL STATEMENT Began breakdancing (bboying) in 1999 when I was fourteen years old. My history as a performer really began to take shape after moving to London in 2008. Here I worked full-time as a performance artist with Pro-Dance (dance agent) http://www.prodance.co.uk/ After arriving back in Australia in 2010, I began training as a stage actor, completing a Performance Studies degree at Curtin University in 2012. It was here at Curtin that I developed a range of skills for the stage, including; Stage Combat (Andy Fraser), Shakespeare (Michael McCall), Voice (Polly Low), Devised Theatre (Leah Mercer), Laban Movement Analysis (Teresa Izzard). Since then I have begun working in contemporary dance projects. A few of my own and a couple with STRUT Dance. Once completing my Bachelor of Arts - double majoring in Anthropology and Performance Studies - I undertook an honours degree in Anthropology and was awarded First Class Honours. This secured me an APA scholarship for postgraduate study of which I am working on. My PhD research focuses on the world of hip hop and explores matters relating to hip hops representation in both academic and non-academic discourses. My writing is anthropological in nature covers a broad range of topics including embodiment, narrative, ethnicity, gender and performativity.
