ARIYAN SHARMA

Born and raised in Western Sydney, Ariyan Sharma found a passion for acting a musical theatre in high school. He was lucky enough to land a position in NIDA's Diploma of Musical Theatre (2020) where he honed his singing, acting and dancing abilities before being accepted into NIDA's BFA Acting program (2021). Ariyan is currently in his third and final year of this course. 

His NIDA credits include portrayals such as Anthony in Sweeney Todd, Miles in 'Gloria, and he is about to portray the role of Andrei Lugovoi in Lucy Prebble's A Very Expensive Poison directed by Hannah Goodwin. 

Ariyan is very much looking forward to completing his training and entering this terrifying and exciting industry, and he is also very grateful to be a part of Story Week's Chat Battle.
