About
Krista’s career started as a contemporary dancer, often performing in works defined as dance theatre, site-specific or improvisation based. Her creative curiosity took her to collaborate in projects outside the contemporary dance scene and led her working as a Creative more broadly across the performing arts industry such as theatre, music theatre, circus and performance art sectors to name a few.
Krista has a new personal blog dedicated to movement, dance and creative process.
