About Kirsty Duncan:
Kirsty has 10 years experience choreographing contemporary pieces for stage performance including 3 works in Adelaide Fringe shows. She has a passion for working with adult dancers who while not professional performers, are experienced, skilled dancers with a love for dance. These dancers bring a joy to their practice and have varied life experiences which can enrich a piece.
Kirsty's process begins in collaboration with the dancers to generate movement in response to themes or ideas. She enjoys crafting a dance work from this diverse movement base, exploiting her graphic design sense - ‘designing’ with the movement and bodies in space.
