Olivia Rice

Hey there! My name's Olivia, but everyone calls me Liv (unless my mum is growling at me!). I'm 5'3" on a good day - or chipmunk height according to the Disney World height chart - and I have been surrounded by the performing arts my entire life. I started learning piano at 3, tap at 4 and have been outgoing and dramatic since I was in nappies. I did dance and piano competitions for 10 years, where I received multiple accolades, while also undertaking exams for both disciplines. I was also in a youth theatre program called Stage Right Youth Theatre until I graduated high school, during which I was the student choreographer for the annual musical, and later became the head choreographer after graduating. I moved to the U.S. at the start of 2020 to work for Disney… and then was sent home 9 weeks later due to a certain global pandemic that I will leave unnamed (but it gave me LOADS of life experience all at once!) I then made the move to Melbourne, where I studied musical theatre full-time at APO Arts Academy, graduating in 2023. During my time there, I was privileged to learn under various industry names in fields such as comedic and musical improvisation, stage and screen acting, accent work and dance in a multitude of styles. Right now I tutor students privately in voice and piano - which I love as I am able to share my passion with the performing arts to the next generation - while continuing to grow and develop my own skill set.
