Sarah Fiddaman

Sarah co-founded DirtyFeet in 2005, and has since become a major contributor to the company’s activities, in both artistic and managerial capacities. She began her dance career overseas, graduating from the Heinz Bosl Stiftung in Munich in 2002 and joining the company Theatre Krefeld Moenchengladbach shortly thereafter, where she performed roles in works by Christopher Bruce, Balanchine, Hans Van Manen, Renato Zanella, Peter Marcus and Kurt Joos. Upon her return to Australia she delved deeper into the contemporary dance realm, helping to create DirtyFeet and working with choreographers including Dean Walsh, Anton, Vicki Van Hout, Kay Armstrong, Michael Whaites, Paul Cordeiro and Annalouise Paul. Alongside her dancing roles, Sarah has co-produced DirtyFeet’s performance seasons and lead the company’s community projects. Sarah joined the Tasdance ensemble in 2009, dancing in the company’s major seasons and regional tours across Tasmania and Victoria in works by Anton, Trisha Dunn, Alice Lee-Holland, Tanja Liedtke, Larissa McGowan, Graeme Murphy, Marnie Palomares, Byron Perry, Chrissie Parrott, Francis Rings, Anna Smith, Adam Wheeler and Solon Ulbrich. She has also been engaged in a choreographic capacity for Tasdance's education program 'Pulse' and community projects 'Young At Heart', 'In Your Dreams' and 'The Dance Project'.
