Kailah, is an independent actor and puppeteer and trainer who is kicking goals in theatre, film and TV. She has toured with The National Theatre Company’s production of War Horse Australia for the characters of Joey, Topthorne and Goose and recently, Kailah toured with Monkey Baa Theatre Company’s production of Diary of A Wombat in the USA. Her other credits include CPD’s Spot The Dog national tour of Australia and Cirque du Soleil’s production Tooruk, the First Flight.
I talk to Kailah about her experiences as a puppeteer in the industry of ‘big’ touring productions and working as a solo performing artist. I ask her how one auditions for a company like Cirque and what the process is. You'll find out - its a rigorous ride from start to finish! Kailah tells all about her personal struggles in coping with the demands brought on by the role and tells us how she has turned the experience into actions that benefit others.
