Angus O'Connell

Angus O’Connell began ballet at the age of nine in Christchurch, New Zealand, training under Ann Judson. He continued to develop his skills at Southern Ballet under the guidance of Glen Harris and Lioudmila Solovieva. 

In 2022, Angus joined the New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD) and graduated in 2024. 

Before joining the company, Angus was seconded to the RNZB for Romeo & Juliet (2023), Swan Lake and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2024), as part of secondment opportunities between the company and the NZSD. 

Angus joins us in 2025 as a Friedlander Foundation Scholar.
