Calleigh Winiata’s performance journey began at a young age in a family immersed in music and the arts. She first discovered a passion for acting through high school drama, developing a particular love for Shakespearean theatre. At 16, she was selected to study Shakespearean theatre at London’s Globe Theatre for four weeks, an early milestone that deepened her classical training. She later completed a Diploma and Bachelor of Creative Arts in Performing Arts, broadening her skills across acting, music, and musical theatre. After graduating, she travelled through Europe before relocating to Brisbane to begin working in film and television, where she gained early on-set experience across a range of productions. Calleigh now lives in Auckland, New Zealand.
