To Dianne, the arts are not only life enriching, but also have the power to fuel ones sense of purpose and ambition.

Finishing school last year, she plans to major in Theatre and Performance Studies as part of a B Arts/B Education. Emma is currently in rehearsals for The One Sure Thing and although Emma maintains there really isn’t much else interesting about her, we would disagree.

Since Izzy Stevens was 3 years old she spent most of my time performing, dance and ballet classes, holiday NIDA courses, and lots of noodle dancing around the house. Izzy received a scholarship to McDonald College in 2005 where her strong appreciation for it grew, and her hardworking agent Sonya at Random Management took her on in early 2011. Since then she has been keenly pursuing an acting career, and in February she was cast as Eileen Leigh in Underbelly: Razor. THE VOICES PROJECT was a project which was so rewarding, and Izzy is excited to work more frequently with atyp in the future.



Leo Hii was born in Malaysia, moved to Singapore, and eventually settled in Australia where he was captivated by the stage. Since then, he involved himself with as many productions as time allowed, topping at 3 productions in year 12. Leo is quite partial towards Musical Theatre, where he hopes to be in a few years. Lacking the training from an early age, He graduated from high school with the intentions of saturating himself with acting, singing, and dance classes.
