Biography
Kaz was born during a snowstorm in the NSW country town of Cowra, she grew up in Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Art, music, nature, sport and poetry were creative outlets and her escape from the chaos of being one of seven kids. Her passion for theatre ignited when she saw her first play as a child, she was instantly captivated by its' thought provoking and magical ability to evoke a feeling of connection with the audience. Following her heart, eventually, she enrolled at EORA Indigenous College of Performing Arts in Redfern in 2003, where she was later awarded the state medal for Theatre Performance and Practices.
After graduating she performed in Sydney Festival's "Eora Crossing," with 'Legs on the Wall,' dir.

She has worked with Australian and International Directors in theatre, film, television, commercials, physical theatre, voice overs, as well as corporate presenting work.

Reviews
The entirety of the cast worked so well as a cohesive collective, it is difficult to describe their performances individually. Each were committed to their character, which had clearly been researched and developed into well-rounded and thought out personalities, and interacted with one another with the familiarity one would expect from members of a sports team. Each brought a powerful intensity, light and shade and above all, energy, to their performance. Each actor was faultless in their execution of dialogue and blocking contributing to the overall professionalism of the show.
Stella T. Page may have only made a brief appearance in the play but her performance was stellar. The audience was captivated and hung off every word and emotion, helping to bring the show to its poignant conclusion.
