Sally

Describe yourself and what you do in a sentence

I’m Sally, I’m a theatre maker, writer, stage manager, and dog lover.

 Why do you do what you do?

I enjoy it and I don’t have a wide range of skills.

 What would your autobiography be called?

‘If A Dog Wore Pants, Would it Wear Them Like This or Like This?’

What food, drink, song inspires you?

I just had a bento box which was pretty inspiring. I can always go for an ice tea and have spent a lot of time listening to the Mean Girls musical lately.

List 5 items that are always in your bag

My wallet, lip balm, water, a resuable bag, my phone.

How did you start making art?

We didn’t do drama at my primary school so I misguidedly thought I wanted to be a musician. Luckily I took drama in high school and realised what I was keen for.

If you could steal credit for any great piece art, song, film, book etc which one would you claim?

Shakespeare, the royalties must be really good.

What would finally break the internet?

My instagram account @australianwhiteibis

If you had one message to get out to the world, what would it be?

No-one is looking at the body part you’re insecure about.

What are you listening to at the moment?

Kate Nash.

What is your go-to coffee order?

A hot chocolate.

If you had all the money in the world to spend, what kind of vacation would you plan?

Stay in some fancy hotels with no return ticket.

If you could be a fruit, what would you be and why?

A durian. I don’t have a sense of smell so I think we would be well suited.
