Ylaria Rogers
Ylaria is a Canberra-based director, actor, dramaturge and now, producer. Ylaria has collaborated across Canberra,
Melbourne, Sydney, London, Vietnam, including work with The Street Theatre, Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centre,
Tuggeranong Arts Centre, National Capital Orchestra, National Capital Opera, The Hayes Theatre, Victorian College of
the Arts, The Universe – Hanoi, and her own production companies, Heart Strings Theatre Co and Freefall Productions. Across these productions and companies, she has worked on a significant amount of new writing work as a director, actor and more recently, dramaturg.
In 2016, she founded Freefall Productions with Derek Walker, and their work included critically acclaimed productions, Proof and White Rabbit, Red Rabbit. This company was driven by a desire to create opportunities for other professionals and see important and relevant work onstage. In early 2021, Ylaria founded Canberra’s first semi-professional theatre company, Heart Strings Theatre Co. Its debut was a sell-out season of Urinetown The Musical at Canberra Theatre Centre, followed by a sell-out production at The Hayes theatre in Sydney in January 2023. Recent work has included directing for National Opera, the Musical Theatre Festival in Launceston, Hanoi Opera House and
producing and performing in The Hello Girls with Heart Strings Theatre Co.
She has worked with The Street Theatre on creative developments for People Inside Me, Sheila and Camelia. In 2020, she was selected for The Street’s Early Phase creative development program for We Are Not Alone, an original work that advocates to change society’s perception of those who have suffered child sexual abuse. The piece aims to destigmatize and release shame in talking about these events and empower the voice of the survivor. She received Arts ACT funding for the project’s development in 2022 and again in 2023 and its journey is now at the heart of Ylaria’s work as a developing artist in 2024.
