Tamsyn Heynes, born in Cape Town, raised in Boorloo, is profoundly moved by music, art and nature. She seeks to express poetic movement through dance, with a special focus on eco-arts, sustainability, environmental and civil justice.
Tamsyn trained at the prestigious Marie Walton-Mahon Academy, and the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts ( WAAPA) under Nanette Hassall and Marilyn Jones. She regards her private training with Prima Ballerina Assoluta - Dame Lucette Aldous AC and ballet training industry giant - Marie Walton-Mahon OAM, as invaluable and a privilege. She was accepted with full sponsorship by South African Ballet Theatre (now Joburg Ballet) to join their graduate programme while in 2nd year of WAAPA, and went on to perform with them professionally. Tamsyn was also offered a Rotary scholarship to tour Germany.
The growing body of artistic collaborations at home and abroad reflect the mindful approach that permeates Tamsyn's practice. As well as staging independent stage productions, she has been fortunate to choreograph for music performances/videos for local artists (some of which are local and international award winning), and has been involved with various visual art projects. Her collaborations have included those with music, circus, academic, writing, audiovisual and visual art backgrounds. She also enjoys the odd job as an extra - her latest appearance being on The Twelve Season 3.
​
Tamsyn is committed to creating issues-based works through collaboration and strong developmental processes, with a focus on eco art. Her primary medium is ballet
​
She is a lifelong practitioner of yoga and meditation, and an Usui Reiki healer. Tamsyn is also a student of History, on the path the Juris Doctor at the University of Western Australia, and a co-editor at Green Issue - the editorial magazine for Greens WA. She is a member of UNESCO - International Council of Dance
