Born in tropical Cairns, in Queensland, and rising up as a self-described “small city Australian woman”, Primrose is already a longtime expertise on the worldwide stage, becoming a member of the famend Paris Opera Ballet in 2019, and extra just lately dancing for the Boston Ballet. However regardless of Prim’s mom additionally being a ballet dancer, her first foray into the ballet world wasn’t motivated by a need to comply with in these footsteps, “I used to be truly born slightly pigeon toed.” Prim recollects with fun, “So my mum, having a dance background, knew that may right my alignment as a result of ballet is all turned out. So I simply began child ballet for enjoyable, hoping that may repair it, and it did.” And because it occurred, Primrose had an terrible lot of vary of movement in her turnout, “What began off as a unfavourable in my thoughts turned out to be a constructive”.

In actual fact Prim was such an ideal match for the half that she ended up being supplied the function with out a lot as an audition, which is a big leap of religion for casting a lead function, not to mention somebody who has by no means acted on display screen earlier than. Wanting again Prim recollects the way it all performed out: “I feel they might have auditioned another folks they usually did not work out. After which I type of simply had a Zoom assembly with the director, Jesse, and he was like, ‘Yeah, she’s undoubtedly Gracie’. I feel Daniel was proper in saying I used to be the best particular person for this function. As a result of I’ve such a robust persona, and Gracie wants that. After which it simply went from there.
