Madison Whiteley

About me

Australian-born actor and professional ballet dancer, with an eight-year international career performing across Europe, North America, and Australia. Madison trained at the English National Ballet School and has extensive experience across professional dance, theatre, and film.

Originally from Brisbane, she built her ballet career through discipline, resilience, and artistic commitment. Alongside her dance career, she was recognised for her ability to add nuance and emotional clarity to her performances.

Having lived and worked across multiple countries, she brings a strong sense of empathy, curiosity, and observational insight to her work, with a natural draw toward complex, character-driven roles. She combines a high level of physical awareness with a grounded, intuitive approach to performance.

Additional skills include advanced movement, strong physical storytelling, and a highly disciplined and professional approach to training and rehearsal.

Based in Europe and available internationally. Holds Australian and Irish passports (Australian, EU and UK work rights).
