In this episode, we talk to Stephanie Lake.

The former dancer turned choreographer is the artistic director of Stephanie Lake Company, and also the resident choreographer for The Australian Ballet.

She’s the winner of many awards, including the Helpmann, and while her rise was stratospheric, it wasn’t always linear.

It was also somewhat delayed: Lake was a late bloomer in her chosen field, dancing in her teenage years only as a hobby.

Her life story starts in Canada, before taking a turn south to Tasmania, and now Melbourne.

Hosting this conversation – about a journey rich in resilience, creativity and balance – is Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall.
