project/KB | CHOREOGRAPHY:
Kristina tends to present works more in the realm of dance theater using tools such as text, original composition, and choreography, while focusing on the diversity of her collaborative artists and using their backgrounds and stories in relationship to her own; creating and exploring the subtle difference between direction and storytelling versus momentum and pure movement sensation.
Kristina has presented work at the HATCH PRESENTING SERIES at Jennifer Muller, Abron's Art Center, Christian Zelder's NUDE Gallery, John Doe Gallery, Frost Gallery, The Boston Conservatory, and Walnut Hill School for the Arts. She has choreographed and performed in music videos for Elejir el Versatil, Robin Thompson, and VASSY. She has modeled for print ads with Juice Generation and photographer Christina Paik, and has experience working with motion capture technology. Kristina is very excited to be presented by Next @ Graham with a new work this May.
Kristina's diverse dance background aids her ability to empathize with an artist's vision and create accurate, interesting, and satisfying products. References available.
