About Me
Born on the land of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people / Living and working in Naarm
|
Since 2003, I have performed across Australia working on everything from educational theatre and TV commercials to burlesque and Shakespeare. I have been performed for government ministers and handed out flyers under the hot sun of Adelaide Fringe.
I regularly work as a roleplay actor and simulated patient for tertiary organisations and private companies around Melbourne. I have also facilitated for school holiday programs with Australian Shakespeare Company, guiding children aged 7-16 through Shakespeare's most famous texts. Outside of acting, I am a passionate Science Communicator who was fortunate enough to work on the frontline of Victoria’s COVID response through 2020/2021. |
Cooper is outstanding as she brings us into her confidence, sharing not just what happened, but how she felt about it..." |

REVIEWS:
“... it is absolutely incredible. Beautiful and raw and heartbreaking… I am deeply glad that I went … It is an important and deeply moving story, has a brilliant script and production design, and showcases a powerhouse performer.” "As the sole performer, Michelle Cooper has a lot resting on her shoulders, but tells her characters story with a truth and clarity that touched me deeply..." "Michelle Cooper's performance is perfect; we are immersed in the drama and we never stop believing in the story she is telling. I heard myself gasping as the twists and turns were revealed." |
