Ali Bendall

After brilliantly executed impressions of Pavarotti from the age of 2, Ali was shipped off to dance and drama classes from a young age, until finally, she was allowed into the Capital to train as a performer.

After 3 years of “triple threat” training in London, Ali graduated from Arts Educational School with a degree in Musical Theatre, since then she has enjoyed working in and around London as a Performer, Voice Over Artist, Teacher, Choreographer and Director before taking the leap and moving to Australia, via a pitstop in Singapore.

Ali has a huge passion as a performer, but perhaps even more so for the artistic side of the stage. She has a gift which allows her to take on the role of Choreographer/Artistic Director, and work closely with a Cast and Creative Team, to ensure that everyones ideas are incorporated, whilst running a professional – and happy – rehearsal room. This love of creating has often meant Ali is approached to teach, and thankfully, she has a huge enjoyment for challenging and stretching individuals to realise their potential, and loves the moment when you finally see the penny drop.

Over the years, Ali’s Choreography and Directing credits include a vast array of shows, from Fashion Shows, to Musicals, and all that's in-between. Ali has also continued to dabble in performing - something which she feels is important to maintaining one foot in the industry, and keeping relevant to the current practices. 

Most recently, she has turned her hand to coaching. Acting, Audition Technique, Self Tape Studios, Understanding Shakespeare, Laban and Stanislavski. Ali enjoys creating curated lesson plans for individuals and specific needs, and pushing classes to test their comfort zones to reach their full potential whilst maintaining a supportive, encouraging and engaging environment.
