KRISTIN WAGNER

Picture





​Kristin
 
attempts to strike down her basic b!tch tendencies by accumulating tattoos and queer-adjacent clothing. She’s been said to be “so straight it hurts” but recently took it as a massive compliment when her sexual preferences were questioned. Her husband isn’t sure how he feels about that, but they just had a kid so he’s signed on for life regardless. This Connecticut-born Girl Next Door™ is sweet as apple pie until she’s not. In addition to dancing on stages, teaching dance in studios, and making dance happen in unexpected places, Kristin likes to stare in wonderment at her baby Nico, engage in epic Taylor Swift dance parties with her niece Jamie, and cry (preferably in the shower, but more often in the car).


Kristin Wagner is a mover based in the Greater Boston and Worcester areas. Since 2012, Kristin has been performing with a number of local contemporary dance theater companies and freelance choreographers, most notably: KAIROS Dance Theater, Peter DiMuro/Public Displays of Motion, and Chavi Bansal/Vimoksha Dance. As “Decent Dance”, Kristin - with partner Tony Guglietti - creates accessible contemporary performance works that dabble in comedy, dramedy, and all things silly, sweet and true. Kristin also creates work independently under the umbrella “Bodies Moving” and as part of “The Click.” Over the past decade, Kristin has had the honor of performing on stages at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Boston Center for the Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Jordan Hall, The Dance Complex, and Green Street Studios, among others. Her choreographic work has been presented across the Northeast, including at the Salem Arts Festival, The Dance Complex, Tufts University, AS220, the Boston Center for the Arts Mills Gallery, and the Maine International Film Festival, among others.

For three years, Kristin served as the Creative Director of the self-founded and now disbanded Lady BOS Productions, through which she supported the development and sustainability of local, independent dance and performance art through fundraising consultation, production planning and performance opportunities. She has also implemented educational programming and structural administrative systems for a number of established and influential community dance institutions, most notably The Dance Complex. In her administrative work, Kristin is motivated by the mission to make the experience of movement more financially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically accessible for students, performers, and audiences alike.

With a passion for supportive, rigorous, and eclectic dance education, Kristin has shared these philosophies and more with students ranging from youth to adult in competitive, pre-professional, and collegiate environments across Massachusetts. She is currently on faculty at développé Studios and Wilmington Dance Academy, and frequently guest teaches at Free Form Dance Academy and the Dance Theater of Greenville (SC). Kristin is a certified artist in the City of Boston, a RYT-200 yoga teacher, holds a B.A. in Hospitality Administration with a minor in dance from Boston University (2012, summa cum laude), and has been supported through residencies and grants from the New England Foundation for the Arts; MASS MoCA; The Dance Complex; The Foundry; the JMAC Worcester; the cities of Boston, Somerville, Brookline, and Worcester; and more.
​

In all that she does, Kristin is guided by the belief that authentic, uncensored movement can be a pathway for personal growth, authenticity, and healing. She hopes to share this belief generously not only with her students and peers, but with her son Nico, who joined us Earthside in December 2023.

The Click creates and performs primarily on land presently known as Wilmington, Sudbury, Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston, Massachusetts. We acknowledge that these lands are the original home of the Pawtucket, Massachusett, and Nipmuc tribal nations. This land acknowledgement is a formal statement to honor, respect, recognize, and pay homage to these original stewards of these lands and their enduring relationship with the territories on which we dance today. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide, violent removal, and forceful relocation as we honor and respect the many diverse Indiginous Peoples who remain connected to this and all land in our country. We urge our audiences to take the time to educate themselves on the communities that are indigenous to the land they live and work on. We encourage all our partners to continuously learn how they may contribute to protecting and supporting indigenous peoples and practices.
