About

Bobcat Ranf (formerly Collin Kelly) is a multi-disciplinary artist and movement educator originally from Montana whose practice spans dance, choreography, acting, writing, storytelling, and podcasting.

For over a decade, Bobcat performed his own work and danced for numerous choreographers in New York City, including long-term collaborations with Raja Feather Kelly’s the feath3r theory.

In 2018, he was a New York Live Arts Fresh Tracks artist-in-residence, and his first evening-length work, he rip his shirt off completely, was selected for ANTfest, Ars Nova’s prestigious annual theater festival in 2021. He has performed internationally in Taiwan, Germany, and Canada.

He holds a BFA in Choreography and Performance from the University of Montana and attended the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School on scholarship from 2006-2008. As a movement educator he integrates his knowledge as a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and years of experience teaching Pilates and working in clinical rehabilitation. Now based in Albuquerque, NM he balances his artistic practice with life as a muggle, helping small businesses meet their HR goals.

His upcoming podcast, Bobcat’s MAD Thoughts, is a narrative-driven blend of surreal essays, sketches, and monologues satirizing millennial burnout and the absurdities of late-stage capitalism.
