“ It is so wonderful to have studios like MAKS with Matthew and Katherine Shilling at the helm available to Canberrans.  With their long dance history and solid experience, I am sure they will bring the same brilliant talent into the studio that they brought to the stage and build the next generation of young dancers in Canberra. ”

“ Matthew Shilling and Katherine Arnold-Lindley were key players in Sydney Dance Company during some of its most vibrant and creative years. Both Matt & Kath are equipped with powerful techniques in classical and contemporary dance, innate theatricality and self-discipline. These two artists honed and developed their skills in theatres across the globe and brought to life an extra-ordinary range of roles created especially for them. Individually, they have the know-how to produce the multi-faceted dancers required in today’s competitive world. Collectively, they have the integrity and generosity to share this knowledge and nurture young dancers to their full potential. ”
