'Together, wherever we go' - Show Veterans, Lesley and Bruce Scott


Listen Later

Lesley and Bruce Scott are a dynamic duo. They have championed the careers of countless performers and guided them in the pursuit of career and craft; providing invaluable experiences on tours and on stages.
They launched their own company, Dance Encore Productions in 1980, supplying professional entertainment to Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, Japan and South Korea. Theatre productions of Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs contributed to their enormous output, with the two of them effectively completing many of the creative and producing tasks required.
The pair were perfectly equipped as they came to the business extensively schooled as performers in the business! Bruce commenced his professional career in 1966 in J.C. Williamson's production of Funny Girl as a dancer, and followed this with the appointment as Principal Dancer in their next production, Fiddler on the Roof. A sojourn to the U.K followed with gigs that included Humpty Dumpty on Ice, several West End revues and two years at the Lido in Paris. Returning to Australia he danced in the musicals Charlie Girl and Pippin.
At the age of 9, Lesley made her first professional stage appearance in The Johnny O'Keefe Show followed by numerous Australian tours of the pantomimes Snow White, The Flintstones and Peter Pan. Performing in the Australian and West End seasons of the musicals My Fair Lady and Irene added to her growing resume; and for the Australian Opera, Lesley was the Principal Dancer in productions including The Merry Widow, La Boheme and Nambucco.
Soon after meeting, the pair formed an adagio/acrobatic/contortion act and toured the world performing in some of the most famous theatres, nightclubs and cabarets.
It is a delight to feature Lesley and Bruce Scott in this episode of STAGES. Theirs is a life rich in experience, wisdom and so much more; gathered from a dedication and life traversing vast stages.
