Christina grew up as a ballerina, but discovered her love for modern and contemporary dance in college. She loves nothing more than blending her training in environmental science with her love of movement. She is currently a co-lead artist on Future Fields, a dance investigation of climate change and agriculture with Dance Exchange. She is also the Education Specialist at the Annis Water Resources Institute at Grand Valley State University, where she leads aquatic science education and outreach programs. She has held residencies at Santa Fe Art Institute, Signal Fire, Works on Water and SciArt Center, and presented her work widely in the Mid-Atlantic region. She was also the Director of Environmental Art at the Schuykill Center for Environmental Education for six years. In her spare time, she knits feverishly and gardens novicely. Christina is a native Pittsburgher and relatively new Michigander, and enjoys learning all she can about the Great Lakes. She was a company member of Atelier in its first two seasons and is grateful for this community of movers!

Atelier Dance Company is excited to welcome Christina as a guest artist for our 2022/2023 season!
