About

Kristina is from Virginia, trained in Chicago, and currently working freelance in the Michiana region. She is equally obsessed with developing new work and with staging classic texts for modern audiences.

She can also be found petting her Corgi-mix named Georgie, experimenting with kitchen witchery, playing board games with partner Les Rorick, and planning their future life on a community-sustaining theatre farm.

As a Director, I strive to:

• Embolden and enable my teams to be brave and vulnerable storytellers

• Nourish artists in welcoming and empowering spaces

• Surprise and challenge audiences by testing the limits of the stage and questioning the unsaid rules of theatre

Directing Resume

Intimacy Direction and Choreography

I am available as a freelance Intimacy Director or Choreographer both in-person as well as virtually. My Intimacy Direction resume is available here. I consider this an extension of my Directorial values to create consent-based practices and supported spaces for brave work.

Actor Coaching

I love working with actors 1:1 to prepare for upcoming auditions, polish off monologues for performances, or generally work on new skills to add to their artistic tool belts. Hourly rates available on a sliding scale for coaching in person or virtually.

New Play Development and Script Adaptation Consultation

I’ve partnered with playwrights to guide their scripts through multiple development stages over the last five years, and I have personally adapted several shows for the stage as well as immersive environments. If you are a playwright looking for the perspective of a potential audience member or a director looking to stage your play, I am that artistic partner for you. Hourly rates available on a sliding scale for consultation in person or virtually.
