Krista Köster/ Tallinn
dancer, choreographer, teacher based in Tallinn.
Movement and dance is almost something instinctive for me, it's a practice of living.
Trained in jazz, contemporary, ballet, street styles, martial arts and more I am continuously looking for new challenges. Collaboration with other disciplines and stepping out from the traditional “black box” format is most interesting for me at the moment. Last few years I have been working closely with musicians, video artists, actors and moving more towards multimedia space specific performances.
In my work I like to stimulate the audience's mind with not telling exactly what it is they are looking at, but through the shapes, energy, rhythms, patterns and sounds I hope to take the audience on a trip where they can create their own story.
