Abby Welch attended the University of Central Oklahoma and received her BFA in Dance Performance in the summer of 2019. During her time at UCO, she trained in ballet, modern, jazz, and aerial dance. Additionally, she was a member of both Kaleidoscope Dance Company and KD2, and attended the American College Dance Association in 2016 and 2019. She also participated in the company performance tour to Korea in May of 2019. During college, Abby was a featured dancer with 19th Century Hound in “Those Who Lie Beyond” at Factory Obscura’s “Beyond” experience.
Following graduation, Abby was introduced to Rebekah and began developing a relationship with FALL while performing as a company member with Perpetual Motion Dance, an aerial and modern dance company based in Oklahoma City. Finally, in the summer of 2021, Abby moved to Nashville and began working on“A Bending of its Own Kind”.
After the 2022 performance of “Bending”, Abby remained in Nashville with FALL until late summer 2023 when they moved back to OKC to be closer to family. Abby remains the Assistant Director of FALL, providing admin and production support from afar and traveling to help produce and direct performances. They are grateful for the opportunity to work with a performance art organization that is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those struggling with chronic pain and illness.
