Retrieved from 10play.com.au
Dancer and filmmaker Emma Watkins began her performance career early from the age of three, nurturing her love of dance and movement, performing ballet, Irish, hip-hop, tap and contemporary dance. After dancing in productions all over the world, Emma joined Australian children’s entertainment group, The Wiggles.
Emma's passion for movement and body expression expanded to an interest in sign language and raising awareness of Australia's Deaf community since she was young. Ever since, Emma pursued studying sign language, completing her Diploma of Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and currently studying a Diploma in Interpreting at Deaf Connect and her PhD at Macquarie University in Sydney, focusing on the affective, artistic integrations of sign language, dance and film editing.
Emma will be racing with her sister, Hayley Watkins. Both ladies are extremely competitive, so much so that they once didn’t talk for weeks after arguing over the rules in a game of Cluedo!
Actress and model, Hayley Watkins has had an extensive modelling career and has been featured in the campaigns of respected brands such as Kathmandu, Camilla, Tim Tam and Step One as well as co-hosting Destination Dessert on Network 10.
Hayley's lifelong love and passion for all things health and fitness has kept her busy as a fit model for brands such as The Iconic.
Hayley currently performs on tour with her sister Emma for the Emma Memma live shows as the Dance Captain and suit character, BB Butterfly.[1]
