In her creative practice, Kelsey explores abstract movement pathways, disruptions to flow, circularity, and theatricality. She is drawn to creating work that challenges traditional forms while uniting people through playful, quirky, and thought-provoking performance. Her aim is to craft art that inspires curiosity, connection, and joy — performances that invite audiences to move, feel, and imagine freely.
