Kirrily Hopkins

I am a young actress and performer based in Melbourne, Australia. I have been trained from a young age as a stage actor and also, in more recent years, as a screen actor. Through the undertaking of various courses, and participation in productions, I have become equipped to play roles both on stage and behind the camera. My primary roles have been leading roles in school and outside stage productions - such as Peter Pan. In regards to scene acting, I have had roles in short and feature films, such as "Culpabilis" (director Sean Roberts) and "Harmony" (director Corey Pearson). I also recently played a role in a KFC commercial. I have participated in various courses as a part of my training. Some of these being: a week long drama course at NIDA, a seven week program with NFTA (acting and modeling), a TVC Casting Intensive at Sydney Drama School, a 1 day Scene Acting Workshop with Cinzia Coassin. I also spent one week on the set of "Christmas Down Under", working closely with the production designer, and had the opportunity to learn extensively about the filmmaking and acting process. I have always had an interest in music, singing, and ballroom and Latin dancing - and love to perform to showcase this passion. I prefer being outside to being stuck inside, and love doing things that are a bit adventurous such as hiking, rock climbing, swimming and spending time in the snow or at the beach. I like to be with friends and have a laugh and love getting to know more people. I'm looking forward to being able to develop myself and my career in acting and performing - something I have always wanted to pursue - and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
