The Stageworx Team

Founder and Director
Gemma Marinus
Throughout my life, I have possessed an inherent sense of being misunderstood. From an early age, I was often labeled as bossy and opinionated, confidently forging my own path and occasionally breaking into song amidst the aisles of local supermarkets. Over time, I came to realise that these qualities were not exclusively unique to me; rather, they were common traits among creative thinkers. This realisation ignited a profound journey within the realm of Musical Theatre, where I spent an enriching 13 years performing in numerous national and international shows. Through this experience, I had the opportunity to explore different corners of the world and, more importantly, discover aspects of my own identity.
​
Growing up, I found very little guidance or support tailored to young individuals like myself who possessed a blend of skills and talents. With little assistance available, I navigated my own path and overcame various hurdles along the way. Following the conclusion of my performing career, I took it upon myself to establish Stageworx, a school of the arts. Through Stageworx, I have not only produced a range of shows but also had the privilege of working closely with numerous creative young minds. Guiding and empowering these individuals to find their true calling and fulfill their potential has been a deeply fulfilling endeavor.
​
Parallel to my work with Stageworx, I embarked on an educational journey—a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Education Leadership. With a specific focus on creativity within educational and business environments, this program has allowed me to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the intricate workings of the creative mind. I firmly believe that understanding the unique psyche of creative individuals and helping them understand themselves is paramount in establishing the foundation for sustainable creative careers. Moreover, it is crucial in cultivating a thriving and sustainable creative business sector.
​
I am thrilled at the prospect of sharing the invaluable insights and learnings I have gained over the course of my journey with you. Together, we can unravel the nuances of creativity and pave a path towards success and fulfillment.
"Creatives are not complicated individuals to understand. Just give their passion some direction and purpose and watch them change the world"
