Aleisa attended Parkes Public School and Parkes High School. She was also captain of her peers at both schools.
She is now a Sydney-based costume and set designer. The award enables an Australian artist engaged in some facet of opera to further expand their skills in Berlin.
For Aleisa, this allows her to continue developing her craft alongside some of the world’s most progressive theatre makers.
She is currently working on a number of projects at SDC and is the resident designer for Matriark Theatre.
During her three-month stay, Aleisa will work as an assistant designer on Petrushka/L’Enfant et les Sortilèges at the Komische Oper Berlin and will attend a number of opera productions in the city and throughout Germany.
Aleisa will fly out to Berlin at the end of October.
She is the seventh recipient of the award.
