Jacqui Cuny
Jacqui Cuny is an Australian researcher, musical theatre performer and pedagogue with over forty years of professional experience. Trained in both acting and singing, she made her professional ‘onstage’ debut in 1981, and toured Australia in major commercial musicals. After moving to England to further her performance career, Jacqui returned to Australia in 1989 and continued her work as a performer and teacher while formalizing her lifelong learning journey through her studies at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University. In her current Ph.D. research, she is seeking to understand the qualities and energy that make a performer exciting to watch by exploring the elements, constructs and praxis of performance synergy from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. Drawing upon her own pedagogical and performance experience and a variety of tried-and-tested singing and acting methodologies, Jacqui has developed an innovative, workable, dynamic model for coaching MT actors, which encourages and engenders stage presence as they launch or enliven existing careers.
