Independently Produced Work

​

About the work: 

In ways that are quirky and often humorous, Keely's creative work intertwines theatre and dance that crafts characters, investigates relationships and assembles narratives that break the 4th wall. She is interested in using gestural based contemporary dance to bring themes of societal struggles to the stage while using a comedic edge.
