Sugar discovered her love of dance at a young age in her hometown of Ocean Grove, Victoria. In 2017, Sugar commenced her formative ballet training with the Queensland Ballet Academy Senior Program.

She then fostered her love of ballet through six years of full-time pre-professional training at South Melbourne’s Ballet Theatre Australia under the direction of Leeanne Rutherford, Oleg Timursin and Ben Davis.

In addition to classical training during this time, Sugar performed contemporary works by Samantha Hines, Ashley Mclellan and Louise Deleur.

In 2024 Sugar joined AUSTI. Dance and Physical Theatre as a company artist, exploring the boundaries of contemporary dance and physical theatre.

During this time, Sugar performed contemporary dance and physical theatre works by Michelle Maxwell, Cloé Fournier, Elizabeth Arifien and Mara Glass. Sugar joined the company on tour to Brisbane performing in collaboration with Australasian Dance Collective’s Youth Ensemble for the 2024 season of ‘Echo’, performing works choreographed by Michelle Maxwell and Riannon McLean.

Sugar is pictured dancing in Cloé Fournier’s piece “Rien & Other Nothings” for AUSTI. Dance and Physical Theatre’s 2024 May season ‘This Much is True’ at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre.

Sugar is currently an independent, Melbourne based artist, striving to continually challenge her perception and understanding of dance and art. Sugar has a keen interest in both classical and contemporary movement as she explores her creative practices and personal endeavours.
