Juliet Fixel
Juliet has been dancing and creating since childhood. She is trained in Hip Hop, Modern, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theatre, and Ballet. Juliet took her dance training to the University of Florida where she graduated with a BFA in theatre and a minor in dance. By focusing on multiple performing mediums Juliet was able to blend the different styles by taking the driving forces behind each one and use them to elevate the other. Juliet's extensive training in movement based experimental theatre has helped her become the creative out of the box choreographer, director and performer she is proud to be.
As a performer Juliet has had the opportunity to play various roles. Her favorites include Lane in The Clean House, Fastrada in Pippin, Cathy in The Last Five Years, Witch One in Macbeth, Shelia in Hair and of course Sharon in Freefall Frostbite. Juliet is constantly working on improving her craft and sharing it with others. Juliet also teaches Musical Theatre Classes at Tada! Youth Theatre.
As a choreographer Juliet prides herself in being able to challenge every dancer of any experience level. As an actor she understands how to talk to actors with little dance training to make dance more obtainable and as a dancer she knows how to communicate with those that have been dancing for years. Juliet brings a modern dance sensibility to her work focusing on the story the movement is telling and the emotions being conveyed as the inspiration for the movement. Favorite credits include: West Side Story, Machinal, Mary Poppins, Aida, working wth twenty one pilots and Freefall Frostbite.
As a director Juliet approaches everything from a movement based perspective that is derived from the text. She likes to create concepts that turn what is expected on its head and focuses on creating a strong ensemble. Favorite directing credits include: Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl, Romeo and Juliet, Salamander Stew, Freefall Frostbite and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
