Testimonials.

“It was a delight to work with Max on our 2022 series of Australia’s Got Talent. As a performer, Max is a thrill to watch. He is a skilled dancer who commands the stage with confidence, strength, and charisma. He was an incredibly professional and engaged member of our cast. His enthusiasm, willingness to take direction and commitment to the project meant that he was a pleasure to collaborate with not only on set, but also during the months of preparation. His charm and good nature know no bounds, and he was a hit with our live audience and esteemed Judges. I can’t wait to see him perform again.”

“I had the privilege of working with Max on a story for The Project. We wanted to profile a few of the dancers in a new Sprung!! production and were so pleased to share Max' love for theatre and for life. He is a big, confident young man who is very comfortable in his skin. He took direction well and brought fun into every scene he was involved in. Max is loved by his peers almost as much as he loves the spotlight! Bravo Max!”

“Having worked with Max professionally for the past five years, I am continually amazed at his passion and drive in exploring and pursuing his artistic endeavours. In the performance arts, Max and I have worked closely across numerous projects and I have seen him work very effectively in ensemble roles and more recently in solo projects. He is consistent, proactive, eager and joyful in his approach to life and his artistic expressions. A gifted and authentic human with a flair for performance and putting on a show. It's a pleasure to work with him as a valued colleague and to call him a close personal friend.“

“I have  worked with Max McAuley for over  nine years as his dance teacher, choreographer and mentor. Max is one of the most gifted natural dancers I have worked with who possesses an incredible movement vocabulary. He is always dancing, he genuinely loves it and comes to me saying “I’ve got new moves to show you” then demonstrates his latest creations. He also has an uncanny knack of working across dance genres identifying the particular dance style required. Whilst Max is naturally gifted he has worked hard at his craft developing his technique, skills, strength and stamina and his performance and stage craft. It has been a pleasure and honour to be part of and to see Max grow and shine in his career as a dancer and performer.”

“Working with Max is so enriching. Max brings so much enthusiasm and curiosity to the creative process that it feels more like a collaborative experience than a teaching one. Max has the ability to take a movement concept, and expand it in ways that I would never have thought of. A true showman undoubtedly destined for exponential success, Max is a joy, a gentleman, a comedian and a star!”

“As Executive Director of Sprung!! Integrated Dance Theatre, I had the pleasure of working with Max McAuley as a lead artist of the Sprung!! ensemble. Max combines insatiable curiosity, boundless imagination and focused commitment to the artistic process. He is a generous collaborator encouraging other ensemble members to share and develop their creative input. With his stage presence and great sense of comic timing, Max’s repertoire extends beyond dance to dance theatre and cabaret. He embraces life and creative pathways to the full making him a joy to work with.”

“Max featured in my short documentary Making Waves and was such a pleasure to work with. He gave an excellent interview and was also generous with his creative ideas that helped shape the vision for the project. The film has been viewed on both national TV and at festivals around the world leading to other opportunities for Max. I can’t wait to see where else his talents take him.”
