Chelsea O'Brian was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. She was always a performer. Chelsea began in acting and then dance before finally finding the circus arts (a place where she could combine both). She is a graduate of the renowned National Circus School of Canada, and has developed a new circus discipline: the Aerial Kite. Chelsea continues to bring her multi artisan layers to her work. She recently completed the creation of her first show: The Sunlight Zone in Toronto, and is also working with choreographer Noemie Lafrance in her next big production, Raptue, which takes place on the Frank Gehry building in NY.
