About the Coach
Elly Craig is happy to be back in good ol’ Bratt! They graduated from NECCA’s ProTrack program in 2022 and have been touring with independent ensemble companies ever since. They specialize in cyr wheel, partner acrobatics, and bits and bobs of other things like juggling hot dogs. Joy and play is an incredible driving force for Elly and it is relevant in all the art they make. They enjoy experimenting with odd stuff, making a fool of things, messing up, communicating effectively, laughing a lot, interacting in a compassionate and informed way, and goofing off.
