Dancer
Christina Morrison refined her early dance training in Massachusetts at Walker’s Dance. During her time there, she had the opportunity to perform professionally in pieces by Jaclyn Walsh at the Joyce Theater, Summer Stages Central Park, and the ACE Capezio Awards. Christina graduated in 2018 with her BFA in Contemporary Dance at Boston Conservatory at Berklee under merit scholarship, where she performed masterworks by Robert Battle, Merce Cunningham, Mark Morris and Dwight Rhoden. She has also danced in several world premieres of choreography by MADBOOTS, Francesca Harper, Christopher Kinsey, Omar Carrum and Claudia LaVista. Christina has furthered her training at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Transformation Danse in Montreal, and the BODYTRAFFIC summer intensive in Los Angeles.
Christina’s other interests include dance pedagogy for students of all different ages and levels. She has been teaching and choreographing for dance schools in the Boston area since 2012. Her academics at Boston Conservatory covered courses in Creative Movement pedagogy, Ballet pedagogy, Composition, Creative Process and Laban Movement Analysis. She was an active teacher of Boston Conservatory’s “Movement Matters” program that structures dance classes for assisted living centers. Christina also worked as an intern in the spring of 2017 at the Eliot School in Boston, where she helped instruct elementary-age students in creative movement. Her love of sharing dance has taken her overseas as well. In the summer of 2016 she traveled to Guatemala for two weeks with JUNTOS Dance Collective, teaching and performing for underserved communities.
After graduation, Christina relocated to Chicago where she currently resides and works as a ballet/modern teacher, dance fitness instructor, a “Wear Moi” brand flagship store associate, and freelance artist.
