Karli Dinardo, Australian native and one of the most powerful dancers I've ever met, sits down for a conversation about the spiritual nature of dance, her role in Bob Fosse's DANCIN, and how being an immigrant in this city and business have shaped the woman she is today.

At the time of recording and release, Karli is in Bob Fosse's DANCIN on Broadway.

Karli's credits include - Broadway: Moulin Rouge! (OBC, Nini u/s). National Tours: Hamilton (OG Angelica Co, Peggy/Maria u/s), Flashdance (Alex Owens). Off-Broadway: Revolution In the Elbow... (Minetta Lane). Other credits: Bob Fosse's DANCIN' (Old Globe), West Side Story (Carnegie Hall), West Side Story (Helpmann Award Nomination), 42nd Street (Phyllis), The Music Man, The Pajama Game. TV/Film: “Up Here” (Hulu), “Imaginary Friends” (Paramount).

On The Come Up, host Matt Rodin sits with creative people to find out where they’re at, today, in the journey of becoming who they are. What unfolds are often inspiring, transcendental, and candid conversations about the reality of being a growing artist. 

Matt believes that love is who we are. He taps into people’s light so that we can form deeper connections with ourselves and one another. He’s a queer maker of music, media, characters, and campfires. As an actor, Matt recently starred in Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Milwaukee Rep, and the upcoming musical film BEAU. In 2020, he released his first live solo album, Matt Rodin: Live at Home. Matt has also worked as a content producer and consultant for The Tony Awards, The Smithsonian Institute, SoulCycle, Hamilton, Cynthia Erivo, Ingrid Michaelson, Playbill, Broadway.com, Dear Evan Hansen, Write Out Loud, and more.
