Belle Beasley
Artist Bio
Belle is a dancer, writer, occasional choreographer, and burgeoning arts administrator based in Newcastle, Australia. Having completed her formal dance education between San Francisco and Amsterdam, Belle worked with the Dutch National Ballet, Zurich Ballet Switzerland, and the West Australian Ballet, before returning home to Newcastle to pursue further study and a writing position with the Newcastle Herald. Her time in Newcastle has lead to the development of a new relationship with dance through exploring the growing possibilities for freelance and independent dance artists in the region. Belle now works for Catapult Choreographic Hub in varying professional capacities through dance, writing, and teaching, and continues her relationship with ballet through her teaching position at the National College of Dance. She is also a member the Newcastle Art Gallery Youth Advisory Committee, and through this position is developing her experience of arts administration, audience outreach, and curatorial practice.
