In a beautiful fantasy world, filmed in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, a young girl is brutally abused by a trusted member of her her community. As she grows into a woman, other men are equally willing to exploit her fragility.
Even though it is a story rooted in tragedy, it is also one of love, hope, courage, and inspiration.
One in four girls are sexually abused before the aged of eighteen. For too many young women, Abbey's tale is all too familiar.
We are casting Abbey now and are looking for dancer/actors for the following roles:
Abbey
The title character of the film. Abbey is beautiful, but broken and aged between 18 and 25. Ideally, she will be portrayed by an accomplished dancer. Acting experience is also highly regarded. This is an extremely challenging, emotional, and physical role, but potentially a once-in-a-lifetime role for a young dancer/actor.
Jack
The love interest of Abbey in the film. Jack is the nice guy in the movie. The boy next door. Aged between 18 and 25. He will also be an accomplished dancer. Acting experience is highly regarded.
Magic Man
A drug dealer and a pimp. He is a sinister, but charming character. Aged in his late twenties to mid-thirties, he will be an accomplished dancer with acting experience.
The Beast
The main reason for Abbey’s descent into darkness. He is a tall, thin, well-worn man in his 50s or 60s. He is not necessarily a dancer but requires free movement. Some acting experience is beneficial.
Ladies of the night
These six ladies become Abbey’s confidantes and appear in supporting roles throughout the last half of the movie. Between the ages of 18 and 30, they are also accomplished dancers. Acting experience is highly regarded.
Young Abbey
Portrays Abbey as a child of about 12. Some dancing experience is beneficial, but not essential.
Teen Abbey
Portrays Abbey as a 14-16-year-old. Some dance experience is required.
Choir
Fourteen 10-12-year-old girls are required to act as a choir. Some movement, but no singing.
Class
