What career moment are you most proud of?
The Shimmering Extraordinary. A film directed by Fx Goby where I got to share my journey and experience with ability and disability. It was filmed at the Tate Modern, which was a dream to dance in, particularly having grown up in London.

What’s your favourite ballet to watch?
Revisor by Crystal Pite. It stretched every element of the performers and showcased a whole new level of theatre and dance. It revolutionised narrative dance.

What do you like to do on your days off?
Brunch, travelling, art galleries. Anything with exploring a new place with good coffee and food! And art galleries I found for me have always had a calming vibe.

What’s your hype song?
‘Heater’ by Flume

What’s your favourite book/movie?
My favourite movie at the moment is ‘Everything, Everywhere, All at Once’ because it’s super artistic, crazy creative with how it gets a beautiful story across.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Teleportation – I could visit friends and family in a second!

What’s the best thing about going on tour with the company?
The social aspect of it all, with all departments. Plus, on international tours exploring a new country/city!

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Don’t over stress, everything is temporary.

Repertoire Highlights: Emergence, Swan Lake, Maze, Drosselmeyer (The Nutcracker)

‘All eyes are on Drosselmeyer…danced by Madeline Squire, she brings a proper sense of magic to the room with her nifty sleight-of-hand and magnetic presence.’
The Nutcracker, The Stage, December 2021

‘(Drosselmeyer) performed by Madeline Squire, she stole the show. Swirling a cloak to reveal flashes of its blue sparkly lining, she is the bringer of magic not only to the story but in her performance.’
The Nutcracker, Broadway Baby, December 2021

‘Madeline Squire and Araminta Wraith … bring a hilarious Ashton-esque characterisation to the short and tall step-sisters.’
Cinderella, TV Bomb, December 2015
