In this episode, I sit down with Biddeford-based choreographer Kelsie Steil to talk about her incredible journey from studying adventure education to becoming a leader in the arts. We dive deep into her creative process, her love for dance, and her upcoming production, Split My Soul, premiering at Biddeford’s City Theater. Kelsie shares how her work combines mental health themes, raw authenticity, and community collaboration.

Get ready to hear about her inspiring career, her connection to Maine, and how she’s making an impact through her art. Plus, find out why this show is a must-see event this January!
