Phaedra Brown is an independent dancer, choreographer, and producer based on Gadigal Land.
Her practice utilises movement, choreography and text, often drawing on mediums external to dance. Her interest lies in performers as people, and the body’s ability to tell stories about shared human experiences and relationships.
Phaedra has choreographed and performed in the works ‘FLOP’ (side.step program, Balmain Town Hall, 2025), ‘How to Watch People in Cafes’ (Sydney Fringe Dance Hub, 2024), ’Waiting Game’ (supported by March Dance and Melbourne Fringe Festivals, 2022) and ‘A Small Spectacle’, (live-streamed for Melbourne Fringe 2020 and March Dance 2021). She has also undertaken residencies supported by Critical Path, Dance Makers Collective, Lucy Guerin Inc., Readymade Works, AusDance NSW and March Dance Festival.
Recently Phaedra has taken part in the 2026 Experimental Choreographic Lab, supported by Performance Space and Critical Path, and in 2025 she produced and performed in Bianca Yeung’s ‘BiPolar Express’ for Sydney Fringe. Other performance highlights include Rhiannon Newton’s ‘Caresss’ and Ella Watson-Heath’s ‘catandmouse’ (Future Makers ‘Echoes’ season, 2024), Stephanie Lake’s ‘Colossus’ (2018, 2019), Thalia Livingstone’s ‘Dark Points’ (2019), and the National Gallery of Victoria’s reconstruction of ‘Demon Machine’ (2017).
She holds a BFA Dance (Hons.) from the VCA, and a Graduate Diploma in Cultural Leadership from UNSW.
