Melbourne, AU – April 21, 2026 – Lisa Antoinette Herbert, a Melbourne-based Australian dancer and emerging choreographer, announces her expansion globally across stage and screen, shaping a career that moves fluidly between stadium-scale performance, film, and live production. Her work reflects a growing shift in the dance industry—one where versatility, adaptability, and creative awareness define the modern performer.

Herbert’s performance experience spans some of Australia’s most visible stages. She has appeared at the AFL Grand Final alongside global artists including Robbie Williams and Delta Goodrem, Katy Perry, and Snoop Dogg, as well as major events such as the Australian Open, Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, and the Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final. These large-scale productions place her within high-pressure, globally broadcast environments where performance is built for impact, scale, and immediacy.

Her screen work introduces a different rhythm. With credits in Paramount Pictures’ Better Man, alongside music video performances for artists including Jessica Mauboy and Tones And I, Herbert’s work shifts toward precision—where movement is captured in detail, shaped by framing, timing, and the subtle language of the camera.

While Australia offers a strong foundation for live performance, opportunities for dancers in large-scale screen productions remain comparatively limited. Moving between both worlds requires a distinct recalibration. On stage, performance expands outward—driven by projection, energy, and connection to a live audience. On screen, it turns inward—refined, controlled, and deeply responsive to the lens. Herbert’s experience navigating both environments reflects a broader evolution within the industry, where dancers are increasingly required to operate across formats rather than within a single path.

“Dance is no longer confined to one space,” Herbert said. “Each environment asks something different of you. On stage, it’s about scale and presence, while on screen, every detail is heightened in a different way. Learning to shift between those spaces has completely changed how I approach performance.”

Alongside her performance work, Herbert continues to develop her creative practice through collaboration and by assisting choreographers across live and screen projects. This process—working closely with movement, structure, and intention—has become a natural extension of her career, informing her perspective as she evolves within the industry.

With increasing momentum internationally, Herbert is expanding her work across global projects while remaining grounded in the training and experience shaped in Melbourne’s dance community. Her trajectory reflects a new generation of Australian dancers bringing both technical depth and adaptability to an increasingly interconnected performance landscape.
