Bio

Oli Ouderkirk
Age 16 | Dancer • Actor • Musician • Model | New York, NY
Representing artistic resilience, fearless performance, and creative versatility.

With a spotlight that spans the stage, the studio, and the runway, Oli Ouderkirk is a true triple threat rising from the heart of Manhattan. At just sixteen, Oli has already captivated audiences with standout performances such as Cassie in A Chorus Line, commanding the stage with emotionally charged acting and complex choreography in “Music and the Mirror.” Trained in ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, and hip-hop at Steps on Broadway, Oli brings technique and authenticity to every movement.

A seasoned performer with Applause NY and Nightingale-Bamford School, Oli has taken on roles from Linus in Charlie Brown (performed on crutches, no less) to a fire-dancing poi artist at French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts. Whether strumming an electric guitar on stage at The Cutting Room with School of Rock or posing in luxury sportswear for Hedge New York, Oli’s artistry blurs boundaries.

A visual storyteller in every sense, Oli also channels creativity into drawing, painting, and songwriting, with immersive pre-college studies at Brown University and Columbia University. Fluent in Spanish, skilled in voice and musical composition, and passionate about mentoring others (even teaching sailing on Long Island), Oli represents the modern teen artist: grounded, visionary, and unapologetically original.
