Past Event
Fem Belling pays tribute to the one and only…Fem Belling! With prodigious vocals and spellbinding stories, Fem presents a powerful celebration and autobiographical account of what it is to be ‘she’ in an ever-changing world of performance.
Reimagining, reinventing and rolling with the punches is Fem’s mantra and she will be singing all her hits.
In a world of scrolling saturation and a hundred hashtags
In a world of auditions and audiences
In a world of no’s and who you know’s
In a world of be humble and be humongous
From the West End to Warrnambool
Liza Minnelli to lockdowns
Red carpets to red flags
Fame to full melt downs
Her Majesty the Queen to her managing the in-between
Fem is a trailblazer on international music theatre and jazz scenes and has imprinted herself as one of Australia’s most formidable and in demand performers. Her African Jazz roots powerfully augment her unique musicality and interpretations. A breathtaking storyteller through music.
She has performed alongside countless leading international artists such as Gregory Porter, Femi Kuti, and Hugh Masekela, and still found time to be a West End leading lady including Liza Minelli in The Boy From Oz and Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray.
