Bethany |
Bethany Kelly
is flying high on the college scholarships she earned. After working diligently in high school to obtain the
distinction of
Valedictorian she continues to train towards her art education
career while maintaining her circus skills. |
|
Bethany enjoys
teaching in the classroom as well as in the circus ring. These
principles also work when instructing others how to juggle, walk the
wire, and learn other circus skills. The experience she gains from
coaching others helps her to better manage her time and her future. |
|
The
solemnity and purpose Bethany demonstrates at school contrasts the fun
she has performing on stage. As a clown and aerialist with the Joey
Kelly Circus, she entertains with silliness and grace. Whether it is on
the ground or up in the air, Bethany’s clown gags as well as her trapeze
and aerial silk performances showcase her ability to choreograph
routines as well as execute them. As the great-granddaughter of Emmett
Kelly, it was only natural that she entwine her clown character into the
aerial routines, making for unique and original acts. Bethany commands
the attention inside the ring with her charm and artistry and is equally
respected within the classroom. |

Bethany the Aerialist |
The
circus equipment is stored until spring, but is never far from her
thoughts as evidenced in her paintings and drawings. For now she is
content stretching and exercising at home while continuing her life at
school. Look for Bethany to commingle performing in the classroom and
in the circus ring throughout her collegiate career. |
