Kelsey Oliver’s Austin-born butt went from competition kid to drill team baby to experimental academic…currently resonating as a physical theatre enthusiast, improvisor, and momentumous floorwork practitioner. She’s a choreographer, performer, and costume artist, and she loves making artistic funk in whatever medium she can get her hands on. Routinely in scrappy, maximalist, humor-struck collaborations, KO has co-created works with Frank Wo/Men Collective, Rude Mechanicals, Salvage Vanguard Theatre, PerformaDance, Magdalena Jarkowiec, Heloise Gold, Thee Gay Agenda, Erica Saucedo, Body Shift, + more. She’s ½ of Torko Rover, a multi-medium production duo that is crafting gay performance ahrt in non-traditional spaces. In academic regards, KO received a B.F.A. in Dance in 2015, studying at the University of Texas at Austin and short-term Le Centre National de Danse Contemporaine in Angers, France. She has been an adjudicator, choreographer, and dance instructor for studios and teams throughout Texas. In a nutshell, she likes durational stuff, absurdist stuff, devised stuff, funny stuff, and stuff that gets soakingly athletic. She also loves her queer family with 4 fur floof children.
