My name is Molly Kelly, I'm a 19 year old aspiring actress with cerebral palsy and I'm currently studying a HND Acting and performance course at City of Glasgow college. Through my studies of drama and music gained confidence in myself and I have that my condition does not hold me back, it gives me a unique perspective as a performer. This is why I want to be in the acting profession. I want to showcase my ability and to be able to empower others.
My hobbies revolve around creativity for example I enjoy reading, writing, attending theatre performances, watching films and TV shows, and music especially singing.
Over and above my academic studies I have attended singing, keyboard and acting lessons. As I begin to develop and grow as an actor I hope to gain experience and get started in the industry.
As an actor I have gained a versatile skill set such as:
- problem solving skills
- communication skills
- comedic timing
- confident on stage and camera
- memorising lines
- can play keyboard
- singing
- have a mobility scooter
- can transfer and walk short distances without my mobility scooter
