What a breath of fresh air!
I really enjoyed talking with Joana Simmons, a young woman that I knew some years ago when she played the lead role of Cinderella in Rep Theatre's pantomime. We spent a few moments reminiscing. When was that production?
"That was in 2006," Joana told me. "In 2010 I moved to Melbourne to study dance and performing arts, gaining a scholarship in my second year."
Upon graduation at the end of 2011 Joana worked as a professional dancer providing back-up for Delta Goodrem, the Logie Awards, music videos and in children's entertainment.
