John Kelly John Kelly

John Kelly is an artist who works in performance and visual art. Originally trained as a dancer with American Ballet Theatre, the Harkness House for Ballet Arts, and Charles Weidman, he also studied painting and drawing with Larry Rivers and Barbara Pearlman at Parsons School of Design, and traditional painting techniques with Hannah Barrett at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts School. He trained in Decroux corporeal mime at the Theatre d’lAnge Fou in Paris, trapeze and tite-wire with the Pickle Family Circus in San Francisco, and voice with Peter Elkus at the Academia Musicale Ottorino Respighi in Assisi, Italy.
 
His relationship to the mirror began in the dance studio, and evolved to the making of self-portraits: drawing, painting, photography, and video.
