Garrett, who grew up on the Gold Coast before relocating to the UK, began her ballet training at the age of four with the Katherine Maddock Dance School, later attending the Ransley Academy and Dance Academy on the Gold Coast. Her talent earned her a full scholarship at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, and subsequently, at the Australian Ballet School. She polished her skills in Europe, performing with the Theatre Basel Balletschule in Switzerland and graduating with Honours.
Her journey as a distinguished dancer includes performances with the New English Contemporary Ballet Company across the UK. Beyond dance, Garrett has cultivated a substantial online following, engaging over 500,000 fans while partnering with diverse brands in the beauty and fashion industries.
Garrett is currently under the guidance of the renowned acting coach Mel Churcher, who has previously worked with A-listers such as Daniel Craig, Angelina Jolie, and Keira Knightley.
“I have been very fortunate to have worked with Nekoda Garrett, both directing her in scenes during screen workshops, and preparing her for projects in individual sessions. She is so open to everything offered, and so versatile and talented in performance. During our work together, she has played a variety of parts – both modern and period. And the final recordings have all been excellent. She is truly delightful. I think Nekoda will shine brightly and go far. I look forward to seeing her fly. And to watching her on a screen near me.” – Mel Churcher
With representation by Spotted Talent & Model Management Agency for acting engagements, and Emerge Agency for publicity, Garrett is poised for a starring role in an upcoming project by the acclaimed director James Crow.
