バイオグラフィー
Michelle Sherrill was destined to be a storyteller. At just seven years old, she began expressing stories through the abstract movements of dance, guided by Ballet Russe ballerinas Nancy Schaffenburg and later Natasha Krassovska. As a young girl, Michelle wanted to quit because her teacher "walked like a duck." However, her mother—the first female doctoral student in Chemistry at TCU—encouraged her to persevere, and she continued her lessons. Thanks to her parents, Michelle also attended a summer performing arts program at Casa Mañana, where she discovered the captivating world of theater and acting, which she describes as "brilliant and intriguing." Her debut role as the narrator in Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death marked the start of a flourishing career spanning stage, film, and eventually teaching.
During her teenage years, Michelle explored the world while living in vibrant cities like New York and San Francisco. At fourteen, she trained with the prestigious American Ballet Theater, and a year later, she continued her studies at the San Francisco Ballet. Although she split her time between New York, California, and Texas for several years, Michelle ultimately settled in Dallas in her early twenties, focusing on her natural talent for acting.
She pursued both theater and film, studying under esteemed coaches Gail Cronauer and Michelle Condrey. Currently, she trains with Condrey at R.E.A.C.T. Studios, where she has dedicated fifteen years and evolved into an inspiring acting instructor herself.
Holding a Master of Fine Arts in Choreographic Theory from Southern Methodist University, Michelle also teaches at the Center for Dance and Brookhaven College. Her impressive achievements in the arts earned her a prestigious scholarship from the Meadows School, which fully funded her education.
