Sarah Kechayas - Performing Arts

What one memory do you most treasure?

One of my fondest memories is of a gig I did with ‘Pevan & Sarah’. All the shows we do turn into treasured memories, but this one in particular was in front of a HUGE crowd who were all singing and dancing along. At the end, they shouted for an encore and that very rarely happens. We had the best time ever!

Fill in the blank: If you really knew me, you'd know_____

I truly hate cut flowers. I can understand the appeal, they are lovely and colourful but I don’t understand why you’d give me a handful of dead things as a gift. It makes me sad that they get cut to sit in a vase and end up in the bin. Leave them in the ground! Yes, I know, I’m a bit weird.

What would you name the autobiography of your life?

Lights, camera, ACTION!

What did you want to be when you were younger?

A singer/dancer/actress/musician/marine biologist.

What are you most grateful for?

Music. I don’t know what I’d do or where I’d be without it. It soothes my soul.

What is something you learned in the last week?

On average, 100 people a year die from chewing on pens. Both pens and pencils cause 25 times more deaths than sharks every single year. What? On a lighter note, I also learned that babies and kids can laugh up to 300 times a day while adults typically laugh at most, about 20 times a day. Let’s all try to laugh a little more! Lastly, did you know that water polo is NOT anything like volleyball...at all?! 

What is something that you do to relax and unwind?

A hot bath with a good book, a lit candle and a full glass.

What super power would you like to have?

I’d love to be able to talk with animals and understand their thought process, especially my crazy cats!

What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?

The classic - ask Dad when Mum says no, or vice versa. It never ended well for me.

What are you most grateful for?

Having a loving family, reliable friends, good health and workplace full of positive energy.
