Artistic Director


“Stay true to yourself and always nurture your Soul’s expressions”

Taaleah K. Jezierski trained as an actor and a theatre director and producer at the Lionel Long S.W.A.M Conservatory Studios for Screenplays, Writers, Actors and Movie Productions, graduating in 1993 with Honours.

Prior to graduation, Taaleah wrote, directed, produced and performed in a play called "Behind these walls" for the International Aids Awareness Day on 1 September 1992. Taaleah also wrote two screenplays called "Surgery" in 1994 and "Mascarade" in 1996.

Being a community minded artist Taaleah worked as a presenter and co-producer for CTV1 Television every week on "Saturday night live" from 7pm-9pm 1992-1996. Thoroughly enjoying being involved in community projects, Taaleah co-produced and was a weekly broadcaster for the very popular prisoners' request and parole program on Radio Skid Row from 6pm-10pm every Friday, 1992-1996.

"Our pigeon hole at the radio station was inundated every week with requests from prisoners from 4 different gaols in NSW. Most prisoners would tune in to hear if their application for parole was successful or to hear whose parole has been revoked. They enjoyed hearing their requests for their loved ones being played and listening to their poetry being read."

Taaleah graduated as a Justice Action Community Mentor in December 2003. Then on 1 March 2004, she co-founded Action Break Theatre Inc. on 1 March 2004 with the aim of using theatre as a mentoring tool and a creative healing tool.
