eleventh hour Teaching Artists
Kristin O’Neal - Contemporary Modern Technique
Residing in Atlanta, GA, Kristin performs a bit, teaches a lot and choreographs when the spirit moves her. Kristin’s contemporary modern technique classes include a deep investigation into how one’s body operates while considering the muscular effort needed to fulfill a movement. She enjoys sharing this mode of efficiency with students at Emory University as well as with the Atlanta Dance and Contact Improvisation communities.
On occasion, Kristin will create a solo dance based loosely on the life of one of her great aunts or grandmothers, always with a recycled costume and typically donning one of their personal handkerchiefs, brooch, or clip earrings.
Finally, Kristin O’Neal has earned a couple of dance degrees that can often feel insignificant; however, they fueled her with a life-long practice of dancing and engagement with a community of humans who continue to inspire her to research and evolve.
