NIDA acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we learn and tell stories, the Bidjigal, Gadigal, Dharawal and Dharug peoples, and we pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present.
Forever Tupou is a dancer, choreographer and artistic director of contemporary dance crew and aspiring dance-theatre company Des Fleurs (The Flowers). Before studying directing at NIDA, Forever trained at Debbie Reynolds’s Dance Studio as a part of their dance scholarship program in Los Angeles.
