Brittany Gallasch
Brittany Gallasch graduated from Flinders University with a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Honours) in 2021, specialising in voice-over, motion capture, and screen and theatre acting. Having recently completed a Master of Virtual Production, from Flinders University, she is dedicated to creating motion capture content that explores unique character voices and physicality. Winner of the 2023 Neil Curnow Award from the Helpmann Academy and Independent Arts Foundation, Brittany trained in London with renowned mocap (motion capture) specialists Paul-William Mawhinney and Ace Ruele. During her time abroad, she also developed her physical-devising skills through an internship at Fourth Monkey, fueling her passion for creating theatre with a strong physical component. Through her company, Shifting Shapes Collective, Brittany has launched South Australia’s first motion capture performance workshops, offering valuable training opportunities for actors and performers in her hometown.
