Born into a family of avid travellers, Amanda has always lived to travel and explore the world around her. In literature classes in secondary school, it became apparent to her that all the travelling had evoked in her a desire to live for the moments where stories were told. After high school, she enrolled in LASALLE’s Theatre+Performance programme where she has studied an array of theatre forms, from Commedia dell’arte to various Asian theatre forms such as Balinese Wayang Wong and Noh theatre. She has directed staged readings of her own short plays, and been attached to numerous directors, including Kaye Tuckerman’s musical production, Siren. She also observed the rehearsal process of director Adam Marple for LASALLE’s production of The Wonderful World of Dissocia. Recently, she completed an internship with The Necessary Stage as part of the production crew of Balek Kampong. Amanda wishes to pursue work in film upon graduation.
