Following this season, Carlie understudied Garry Stewart's internationally acclaimed pieces, "The Age of Unbeauty", "Birdbrain" and "Held". "Held" toured to the Sydney Opera House and the annual Helpmann Awards in Sydney. In Addition she has performed for SA's Choreolab, Adelaide International Film Festival, Dance on Screen and the Adelaide Fringe Festival. A chance to work as a movement director for Punks Palace under the Artistic Direction of Marcus Graham further developed her experience and interest in Dance Theatre.
