Zuzi Fort

I am an actor, stunt performer, writer, director and tutor.

I believe experience, life experience is the key! I have had plenty of that. Born in the Czech Republic I have lived the highs as a daughter of a top TV personality. I have lived the lows as an asylum seeker in a refugee camp. I have experienced loss: the loss of my home, my family, my language and culture, my own self. I have had the joy of discovering them again on the other side of the world: Australia a place where I truly belong. I have witnessed prejudice and charity. I have endured heartbreaking failure and savoured the delicious taste of success. I have I have hit bottom as an Anorexia sufferer when my own body and mind betrayed me. I endured the sweet agony of birth. I have come close to death after delivering my first daughter. I have grown wings and touched the stars in a flight of pure ecstasy when I first hugged my daughters to my heart. They are my life: two bright flames that light my path and keep darkness at bay. They continue to be a source of great joy, never-ending worries and frustration, growing pride and satisfaction but above all a bottomless fountain of laughter and love. Each day is a new adventure, a fresh lesson and an experience that moulds and defines me as an artist and as a human being. I am a mother first and foremost.

In all my artistic pursuitsmy goal is to entertain, to inspire, to amuse and offer a reprieve from ourdaily struggles, a chance to escape to a different time and place; a chance tocry and to laugh.
