Contortionist and Martial Arts Performance Artist
Kelvin's current performance finds its inspiration in many ancient disciplines, such as tai-chi chuan, African dances, kung-fu and tantric yoga. The result is simply full of emotion. This mysterious, intriguing and original artist has extensive experience in theater, film, martial arts and the arts of the circus.
Kelvin has studied martial arts and hatha yoga extensively, along with other related disciplines.
