Jill Ogai

(She/Her)

Jill began ballet at the age of four in Sydney, before moving to Adelaide when she was ten. She continued with ballet, and also began tap, jazz and contemporary. She graduated from The Australian Ballet School in 2011, and joined The Australian Ballet in 2012 as a member of the corps de ballet. After recovering from a knee injury early in her career, Jill danced a wide range of repertoire and was promoted to coryphée in 2015. In 2017 Jill went on scholarship for a month, and travelled around Europe to take class and watch other companies perform. It was an extremely enlightening time, and gave her new inspiration when she came back to Australia. This, combined with continued growth as an artist and performer, earnt her a promotion to soloist in 2018, and then to senior artist in 2022.
