Eugene.Raggio.cv/7
Eugene has appeared as soloist with the Adelaide Harmony Choir and VoiceWorks Choir
Conducted by Carl Crossin (2001). Celebrate! the final concert series of the former Flinders Street
(2001), The Australian Music Festival (2000), and new music concerts, also feature in his
performance experience.
Eugene has been Finalist and Semifinalist for awards including South Australian Youth Awards
Showcase, Nescafe Big Break, Young Australian of the Year and Channel 9 Student of the Year
Awards in which he won the Vocational category in 1998.
Eugene was accepted into the music performance degree at the age of sixteen, Eugene has worked
to achieve a consistently outstanding level of work in not only in performance but also academic
and theoretical subjects. His work at ACArts has seen him meet extraordinary literary and
theatrical challenges as a young actor.
Alongside his work as a performer, he has taken time more recently to travel and also to devote
some time to writing his own work. He has been composing seriously since 1995 and writing since
2002. Eugene’s forays as a playwright began officially with Hey Angie Baby - a gritty suburban
drama for which he also wrote music. After much careful development he gathered a professional
cast and crew to shoot in 2005, the film was finished in 2007. Inspired by the work of Dali in 2006
he directed his first stage miniature Awoken by the Sting – a fantasy for two actors and solo violin,
for an industry showing. His recent travels included a trip to Mediterranean Europe to absorb
further biographical and cultural details for the subject of his first full length play Lily of the
Marshes which has already undergone a 3 week studio workshop and has become a consuming
passion which has shaped his life journey - he plans to direct it on completion.
Eugene has recently been accepted into the International Film School Sydney and has just
commenced a two year Advanced Diploma of Film and Media, to further expand his skills as a
writer director
