Cortni CooperCortni has been a part of the dance world from the age of 4 and quickly fell in love with it. She has always adored working with children and started assistant teaching at the age of 11. At age 8 Cortni started singing lessons and realised she could combine her two passions finding a love for musical theatre.
Cortni attended John Curtin College of the Arts in the specialist program MT and was dance captain in her Yr 12 performance of Little Shop of Horrors. During school she was a part of HAMA Productions (formally APAN) and had amazing opportunities performing on Telethon, in the City of Perth Nativity, and so many other exciting events. Taking a break after high school she started her community theatre journey in 2021 and loves every minute. Cortni can’t wait to share her passion for Musical Theatre at DFDA in 2023! |
