Choreographic Inquiry and Musings
Dance artists perform with audience participants in "Go Someplace Else" (2019).
Krista self produces two to four performance works per year and collaborates with artists and organizations of varying mediums to present interactive installations, and theatrically staged performances. Her work also melds with comedic performance art and ekphrastic creative processes.
Much of her creative inquiry stems from a curiosity nested in movement ontology.
"I find the economy of my movement, no matter how large or small, infers subtext, and communicates a choreography of language and memories. This physical dialogue is both tacit and mercurial, and in the moments I am able, I am compelled to distill this vocabulary into fluid and halted sequences. This is a rich foundation for creative inquiry and physical storytelling; one that unfurls movement signatures and secret authors to create poetic stories." Krista Leigh Pasini 2019
