Chelsea is an activist who uses her art in revolt.

She believes that in today’s political climate it is on us to challenge those in authority. That this time in history will be marked by those who protested, gathered, educated, and fought.

Because science does matter, every human is legal on this earth, every person has the right to love freely, and every woman has a right to choose.

Free Body Project

ambassador

This non-profit was created by a fellow NYU alumni that Chelsea met during her freshman year.

FBP works at the intersection of dance and social justice, hosting a conference yearly, which Chelsea helps coordinate. The conference allows you to meet and move with some of the most exciting minds in the field, join a tight-knit, vibrant community of dancers, artists, healers, and activists changing the world, and leave with the inspiration and skills to do the same.
