Welcome to Season 2 of Beyond The Curtain! We are kicking off the season with an incredibly inspiring episode with the wonderful Kelley Abbey. Kelley is an award-winning Australian dancer, singer, actress, choreographer and creative director. Her resume is truly too long for me to even begin to do justice here! Just SOME highlights include leading lady in productions Sweet Charity and Fame – The Musical (which she both starred in and choreographed!), choreographer, performer and creative motion capture consultant on Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar winning feature film Happy Feet, and most recently Creative Director on the rebooted Warner Brothers version of Dancing With The Stars. In this episode we discuss an array of topics including being a commercial dancer in the 80s, her lead role experience on Sweet Charity, working on Happy Feet and DWTS, social media, self-care and many words of wisdom! I was struck by Kelley’s authenticity and generous spirit from the moment I first contacted her and throughout our recording process. It was a true joy to share this experience with her. I hope you enjoy the first episode of Season 2 with this truly beautiful soul. + Follow Kelley+ Kelley's website+ Keep up to date on our insta @beyondthecurtainaus+ Join our Facebook Community+ Find us on Youtube Beyond The Curtain acknowledges the traditional custodians of the Australian land we live and create this podcast on.
