Young talent gives ballet culture a ‘bad wrap'
The intense demands and 'toxic culture' surrounding ballet forced Charley-Marie Travia to quit the sport she loved from age 3 to 17. The Iona Presentation College graduate turned her experience into Stored Away, a series of photorealistic oil paintings of her ballet possessions covered in plastic. One of canvases, a representation of her favourite ballet dress, features as part of this year's The West Australian Pulse exhibition at the Art Gallery of WA. The 18-year-old also created eye-catching images of her trophies and pointe shoes, all wrapped in plastic to be stored away. While she dreamt of joining one of the great European or New York ballet schools, Ms Travia left the demanding sport to focus on her high school studies.

Now studying architecture at Curtin University, Ms Travia said the 'ballet industry is very toxic' with potentially detrimental impacts on the mental and physical health of young dancers. 'Whatever you do, it's never good enough,' she added. 'When you're in a ballet studio, you're surrounded by mirrors, so it's very hard on your body image. 'Mentally, it's a very tough sport, as well as physically.' Charley-Marie Travia and fellow Pulse artist Ben Ioannou at the Pulse exhibition opening night. Credit: Alan Chau / The West Australian Partly inspired by American collage artist Barbara Kruger's use of slogans, Stored Away features the phrase 'I was once your favourite' emblazoned on her ballet dress. Ms Travia said the Pulse artwork closed a chapter in her life. 'I can now move on to bigger and better things,' she said. Can she see herself ever dancing again? 'No, I don't,' Ms Travia laughed. 'It's a very traumatising career — I don't think I'd ever go back.' Mentored by Iona teacher Lisa Corbett, Ms Travia enjoyed the process of painting Stored Away but said she never thought her work would end up on a wall in WA's most prestigious art gallery. 'The standard in Perth, especially for Year 12 students, is crazy,' she said. The West Australian Pulse exhibition is free and runs until August 31.

Perth's Jessica De Gouw opens up about her Netflix show
Jessica De Gouw knows her way around an airport, an 11th-hour itinerary, an unseen destination, a new job. But on a recent night-time flight, the lights of the city where she is coming in to land are familiar. De Gouw is home. It's only a lightning-fast visit to Perth to see her sister but finally, after months of being busy, she's taking a beat. Not that it's a lie-by-the-pool type of homecoming. The actor flew on a last-minute flight to get stuck into a different type of work: helping her sister unpack in her new house, and looking after her six-month-old nephew. But as she's secreted away in a spare room somewhere in the house to talk to STM, De Gouw feels a kind of peace being back on home turf. 'Perth makes things very easy,' she says. 'When you come from the hustle of big cities, you go ahhh (sighs). Everything slows down a bit and there's something in that, about being present and being mindful. I can take a breath.' Though now based in London, De Gouw, who grew up in the Perth Hills and studied at Curtin University, has spent the past couple of months in Sydney, reconnecting with her partner of several years, Sophie Roberts. It's been a little over two years since De Gouw first spoke about falling for Roberts, who works as a hairdresser in Sydney. In a 2023 interview with Vogue, she shared the logistics and the love behind maintaining such a long-distance relationship: 'we work in creative industries and don't know where our next jobs will be, so we have to be up for the adventure'. 'We just make the best decisions for each other and ourselves, and what we want, and what makes us happy, and see where the wind blows us,' she told the magazine. 'It's really exciting to be able to be that open about the future.' Jess De Gouw as Olivia in The Survivors. Credit: Netflix © 2025 Five years after their first date, the couple is still commuting back and forth — this Perth pit stop is just one in a long line for De Gouw, who is constantly on the road. 'I have been (in London) for maybe 12 years now, and it's very much home,' she says. 'But because Soph is in Sydney, it's very, very long distance — we are all just about navigating that . . . 'I am either with her or in London, and following jobs — we're very all-over-the-shop.' For now, she's immersed in jiggling a baby and helping unpack boxes, but not for long. In a few days, she'll head back over east, then back to London in time for the European summer. There are as-yet-unannounced work opportunities to get started on, the latest in a long line of high-profile jobs De Gouw has scored since starting her career in 2006 on the children's series The Sleepover Club. In the almost two decades since, the 37-year-old has carved a place as one of the country's most in-demand actors, working across film and TV productions around the world. Just over a decade ago De Gouw briefly relocated to Los Angeles, where she scored leading roles in two major television productions: the superhero series Arrow and Dracula, in which she starred opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers. She came back to Australia to shoot the film Cut Snake, directed by Tony Ayres, who is also the creative force behind De Gouw's most recent project, a TV project for Netflix, The Survivors. Based on the novel by Jane Harper, the six-part limited series tells the story of Kieran, played by The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power star Charlie Vickers. Kieran returns home to the fictional Evelyn Bay in Tasmania with his partner Mia (played by Yerin Ha, who'll soon be seen as the lead in the upcoming season of Bridgerton) to spend time with his ailing father and emotionally distant mother.

It's a twisting, turning murder mystery, told through dual timelines and boasting sensational performances from the central ensemble cast, which includes acting powerhouses Catherine McClements and Robyn Malcolm. De Gouw plays an old friend of Kieran who is integral to the story. 'I hadn't read the book (before I got the scripts), but I was aware of Jane Harper, and I was sent one or two episodes and loved it,' De Gow explains. 'Tony and I had known each other for many years, and we'd been looking for an opportunity to work with one another again. 'This feels really Australian, but also very accessible. It's punchy, it's melodrama and it's very entertaining. It's the kind of TV that I like to watch — I think international audiences will love it as well.' Catherine McClements and Jessica De Gouw in The Survivors. Credit: Aedan O'Donnell / Courtesy of Netflix Ayres, who was a showrunner on the Emmy and BAFTA-nominated series The Slap and co-created the hit series Glitch, describes The Survivors as a Trojan horse. 'It's a family melodrama disguised as a murder mystery,' he says. 'Because the things that are really at its heart are things like a son wanting his mother's love and the mother who just cannot afford to give it because her whole world might fall apart.' For her part, De Gouw was also able to explore a new location after landing in Tasmania early last year. 'We shot January through March, which was perfect — it was dreamy,' she explains. 'It's so beautiful — I had never been before, so I had a great time being a tourist as well. We shot in incredible locations, including Eaglehawk Neck, which is an hour outside of Hobart.' It was so idyllic De Gouw found herself browsing online real-estate sites and dreaming of laying down roots in that corner of the country. But an escape to the wilds of Tasmania will have to wait for now. De Gouw needs to get back to the UK. Her last major role was in the critically acclaimed British series The Couple Next Door, which also starred Outlander's Sam Heughan, and there are more projects in the pipeline in that part of the world.

Credit: Supplied / TheWest In many ways, De Gouw's career has played out back-to-front compared to so many Australian actors who follow the bright lights straight to Hollywood. 'I definitely did that path — Perth, Sydney, LA — but then I found myself in London, and I found my community more there than I had in LA,' she says. 'LA is amazing, but it's a tough town, and a town of extremes: extremely wonderful times and extremely stressful times, so I found it hard to be able to sit there, at ease. 'But now I think COVID has changed everything: it doesn't matter where you are now, because very rarely do you go into the room for auditions . . . 'I would love it if audition rooms opened up a little more, but it does provide a lot of flexibility for me. I can be in Sydney auditioning for things in London, and then in London auditioning for roles back in Australia.' More airports for De Gouw, undoubtedly. But also more adventures.

European film fans have good taste, says Ana de Armas
Ana de Armas thinks European film fans have particularly "good taste". The 37-year-old actress - who was born Cuba, before moving to Spain and then to the US - believes that American and European film fans are distinctly different. Ana - who has become one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood in recent years - explained on 'Hot Ones': "The influence of American cinema in Europe is stronger I would say. "Europeans like European films I would say. I think Europeans also – or Spanish people – have a pretty wide spectrum of, they know about cinema, and they have good taste." Ana is now one of the best-paid actresses in the American movie business. However, she never actually planned to end up in Hollywood at any stage. Speaking about her career arc, Ana explained: "You know, going to Los Angeles or going to Hollywood, was never actually a plan for me. I moved to Spain and then from Spain to Los Angeles, but it was just kind of happening naturally. I just never planned on it." Ana has already worked with the likes of Daniel Craig, and Keanu Reeves during her career, and she appreciates the opportunities that have come her way in recent years. The actress said: "To be on set with them was always kind of like a pinch-me moment every time. And I've worked with really, really amazing people." Meanwhile, Ana previously revealed that she found it easy to relate to Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde'. The actress portrayed Marilyn in the Andrew Dominik-directed biographical film, and Ana admitted to seeing some similarities between herself and the Hollywood icon. She told Vanity Fair magazine: "There was a lot there that I could relate to. "If you put Marilyn Monroe the movie star aside, she's just an actress trying to navigate life and this system, which is so hard to navigate for anybody. On top of that, you add this point of view of Andrew's, which was to see that through her trauma. "I truly thought it was going to do justice to a more dimensional human being, because I wouldn't want to be remembered just for one thing. I am more than just an actress on the cover of a magazine." Ana believes that modern-day movie stars don't compare to people like Marilyn. The actress explained that social media has removed the sense of "mystery" that used to surround Hollywood stars. She said: "I feel like the new generations don't have that concept, because of social media. There is so much information out there and oversharing. "The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen. That mystery is gone. For the most part, we've done that to ourselves - nobody's keeping anything from anyone anymore."
