Much of Krista's creative inquiry stems from a curiosity nested in movement ontology - a philosophical pondering upon movement patterning.
"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)
Krista Leigh Pasini is an interdisciplinary artist and postmodern choreographer working with somatically informed performative inquiries, cultural/environmental humanities, and movement ontology. Her research weds an extensive technical training with poetic gestural patterning, which she integrates into her role as an educator and organizer. Producing performative work yearly since 2010, Krista collaborates with artists and organizations of varying mediums to present interactive installations and theatrically staged performances. Her collaborative methods integrate devised theater and ekphrastic creative processes. As co-director of HaltForce Art Collective, Krista facilitates and produces performance driven artist residencies and education opportunities currently on the high plains of Eastern Montana.
Krista's creative versatility blends her background as a dance artist with performance art, sound art, and theater into site specific events and immersive installations. Her work as a workshop facilitator and personal guide draws from an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on trauma informed somatic intervention and mindfulness practices using movement, sound, and meditative techniques as an invitation for personal wellness development and imaginative inquiry.
Krista is a licensed and insured independent contractor facilitating workshops, choreographic research, and immersive performance research in the inland Northwest … and currently online via virtual engagements until CDC state guidelines permit safer in person connections.
