Shelly Higgs first entered storytelling by telling fibs as a child. It's not clear whether her parents believed these, but they were unsurprised by the career choices that followed: actor, theatre director, playwright, dramaturg. Shelly has entertained audiences as a giant frog, wrestled words of acclaimed playwrights, led theatre shows across Australia, and won numerous awards for photography. Shelly lives in Canberra, Australia with her 4 kids, husband and a menagerie of pets. She has just completed a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and hopes to combine her understanding of people with the power of imagination. Francesca Costa is from Savona, Italy.
