Bio
From a very young age it was evident that Chelcy was meant to perform. As a child she was constantly in the dance studio, at gymnastics, or otherwise singing, dancing or performing in front of whoever would watch, including but not limited to her classmates at recess and her stuffed animals and dolls.
This spark of interest quickly ignited into a passion and eventually a career path. Chelcy continued performing and honing her skills throughout all of her childhood, teen years and into college.
Chelcy moved from her hometown in Dallas to Oklahoma City to continue her education at Oklahoma City University, where she studied Acting under some of the most wonderfully insightful artists around. She was educated in a wide variety of acting styles including Shakespeare, Chekhov, Absurdism, Greek, and film. In her four years in Oklahoma she played a variety of roles from Tiger Lily in "Peter Pan" to Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." She frequented the stage at The Pollard theatre in Guthrie performing as well as working as Dance Captain and Choreographer. She also obtained a minor in directing from OCU, with which she had the opportunity to direct one acts and a short musical. After graduating in May 2010, Chelcy married her high school sweetheart, Ben.
From 2010-2012, while Ben was obtaining his Master's at Boston Conservatory, Chelcy continued building her resume as a performer, dance captain and choreographer in the Boston area working with companies including The Footlight Club, Metro Stage Company and Entertainment Cruises. Chelcy worked as a singing waitress for Entertainment Cruises on the Spirit of Boston, a dinner cruise that sailed around the Boston Harbor. She sang a variety of tunes ranging from Jazz standards to Country to Pop, while serving food and drinks in a fast-paced restaurant environment. She also served as Entertainment Coordinator, Choreographer and Trainer.
From 2012-2015, Chelcy trained intensively in the Circus Arts in New York City in several aerial disciplines, hand balancing and partner acrobatics, with a focus on hand to hand. She trained with some of the top Circus artists at various schools including The Muse, Circus Warehouse, Urban Circus NYC, and The Hybrid Movement Company. She also trained with international acrobats Niko Douwes, Nathan Redwood Price, Tyll Wibben and Anne Zimmerman of Duo Stahlweich, and many more! She was also a member of The Group, a Brooklyn based acrobatic troupe, specializing in dynamic hand to hand and group acrobatics.
Chelcy and her family recently relocated back to Oklahoma City where she now is pursuing local theatre ventures. She and other Oklahoma City University alums started a new performing arts company called Fresh Paint Performance Lab, where she serves as Artistic Director.
She also can be found teaching partner acro and handstands classes weekly at Magic Tree in The Plaza District and aerial silks classes at Metro Gymnastics.
