Dana Benedict is a multi-disciplinary performer and musician. She first studied dance at a young age, going on to star in a National Broadway touring production of Annie as Annie at the age of 12. Branching from these theatre roots, Dana studied non-traditional performance techniques around the world; a pursuit that developed her signature blend of folk, Gothic, and vaudeville influences—inspired by Tori Amos, Kate Bush, and Thom Yorke. Dana continues to combine music, dance, and acting in a variety of unexpected ways, from clowning (her alter ego, Twirly the clown) to immersive theatre to burlesque. Dana’s musical writings have been featured in theatrical performances and placed in student and short films. Dana is currently producing a theatrical stage production of her original music called Alchemy & Poetry featuring aerial arts, dancers, immersive theatre, and more.

Dana Benedict is currently producing her own theatrical show titled ALCHEMY & POETRY.

A musical journey through ethereal realms of whimsy, folklore, and personal tales. All original music written and performed by Dana Benedict, backed by a full band, featuring dancers, aerial art, and stunning visuals.

After three successful productions at Illusion Magic Lounge in Santa Monica, Dana is looking forward to bringing this production to more audiences with a tour and/or a residency!
