Kiana is a proud Juru, Darumbal woman, who is also of Belgium and South Sea Islander descent. She grew up on Yugambeh Country. Kiana has been involved in local theatre productions and musical theatre in dance from an early age. At 26, Kiana made the decision to enrol at NAISDA, driven by years of feeling disconnected from her culture and, following her passion for dance and performance. Kiana’s vision is to find connection to ancestorial knowledge, explore movement of the body, and integrate both within her enthusiasm for natural healing and holistic dance practice.
