Maeve Nolan

Classical Ballet Coach & Contemporary Choreographer

Maeve, originally from Sydney Australia, started dancing at the age of 6 at Dance North Academy on the Northern Beaches. After realising her passion for ballet she furthered her studies at Tanya Pearsons Academy and the Australian Ballet Interstate training program. Whilst at the academy Maeve won the BBM Youth Support Award for Classical Ballet and then went on to win gold at the Royal Academy of Dance's Genee International Ballet Competition in 2016.

Maeve was then accepted into English National Ballet School and began training in the following March at age 16 with the support of the Tait Memorial Trust. Maeve has had many opportunities throughout her time at the school, like working with the company in their productions of “The Nutcracker” and “Swan Lake”, travelling to New York to dance at the David H. Koch Theatre in Lincoln Center for YAGP's International School's Festival and performing in English National Ballet's My First Swan Lake as Odette and other roles.

Maeve then went on to dance professionally with English National Ballet in Christopher Wheeldon's “Cinderella”, Akram Khan's “Giselle”, English National Ballet's “70th Anniversary Gala”, Anne-Marie Holmes' production of “Le Corsaire” and Wayne Eagling's “The Nutcracker”. Maeve was also able to be in the choreographic process of Akram Khan's upcoming production “Creature” with the company.

Due to COVID-19, Maeve recently travelled back to Sydney. Whilst here she has danced in Configuration's triple bill display in late 2020 and worked with choreographer Paulina Quinteros in her prelude performance of “The Rehearsal” in early 2021. Maeve was also featured at Katrina O'Briens with Curatorial Co's “The Unearthing of Words” art exhibition and Nicholas Fiennes' photographic series “Capturing the Arts”.
