Kristin Horrigan
Kristin Horrigan is an improviser, choreographer, scholar and educator whose work explores the impact dance can have in our communities and the world; how it can be used to question, challenge and envision and how we can create invigorating dance practices without reproducing harmful power dynamics. She has been researching and practising contact improvisation for 25 years, teaching in the United States and internationally. For the past decade, she has been studying the ways that embodied ideas about gender influence dance practice and performance, with particular focus on contact improvisation. She also writes on questions of consent, equity and access in dance education. She holds an MFA in choreography from The Ohio State University and she is an associate professor of dance at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. Her writing has been published in the Journal of Dance Education, Dance Education in Practice and Contact Quarterly.
