Her work with singers came about after a serious injury ended her performing career but led her to understand and investigate how and what makes the body work. A fascination with non-verbal communication, love of music and performing, and an understanding of the body all seem to place her well for helping singers to use their bodies to support their voices.

Mandy Demetriou has been fortunate enough to have had as mentors both Sheila Barlow and Anna Sweeny who have encouraged her to take their inspiration and find her own style of work. Richard Van Allan, John Copley, Geraldine Stephenson, Jean Hart and Lisa Ullman have all had a strong influence on her work. This gives her a unique pedigree when it comes to working with young singers and dancers. Her work has also been informed by the techniques of Classical Ballet, Jazz Dance – Matt Mattox style, Laban Technique, Alexander Technique, Pilates, Ballroom Dance, Flamenco. Feldenkrais technique, yoga and many other styles of dance and movement based techniques. Her work in movement for singers is however, a specialist area in which she has been particularly interested as it requires a deep understanding of the voice, the singer and what they need to enable them to sing and also show emotions and thoughts in their movement. She is movement coach to the Jette Parker Young Artist Programme and the National Opera STudio and has worked on numerous productions for the Jette Parker Young Artist Programme, including the 2010 Summer Performance​.
