Kelly Aykers – Director
After 50 years of training and performance, during which time she has also directed, choreographed, Kelly is delighted that the natural progression of her career is now giving her the opportunity to pass her knowledge on to others within the dance industry.
After an early career highlight of working alongside Ann Reinking as her dance captain on the Australian production of Chicago and, as a devout disciple of Bob Fosse, Kelly took on her first role of director in 2016. It was a natural progression and, along with Musical Theatre maestro, Stephen Gray and a live on-stage band, she brought Pippin to the stage. A year later, the pair teamed up again to present super musical, Chicago to excellent reviews. Additional director credits soon followed including, Little Shop of Horrors, The Pajama Game, Bring It On and, later this year, Kelly will assume the role of director and choreographer in Disney’s My Son Pinocchio.
In addition to her upcoming work on Disney’s My Son Pinocchio (Yourshow), Kelly’s previous credits have gained her a reputation as one of Australia’s pre-eminent musical choreographers.
