“I am a San Francisco-based choreographer and site artist with a background in political activism.

My work explores the female body’s tumultuous expressions of strength and fragility.

I choose to create site-specific dances because I love dance making where the artistic process is in service of a larger political goal.

I am a creator and a coalition builder. I gather community organizations, unions, journalists and non-profits into the creative process, engaging non-traditional audiences in the work. I work closely with non-arts partners to harness accurate, socially relevant information. I hold myself accountable to the women whose stories I am telling, with hope that the telling will shift their burden.

Thank you for helping us make dances. It is one, modest way to make the world a better place.”  

– Jo Kreiter, Artistic Director

 

SUPPORT the GIRLFLY SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Each summer, Flyaway trains 20 girls, ages 14-19, in choreography, and site-specific performance.  

The program is an 80-hour, one-month program in the summertime. We liken the program to a summer job. The participants apply and interview for a spot in the program. For her work, Flyaway pays each girl a stipend of $500.  The GIRLFLY Scholarship Fund was launched this year to support the continuity of the program, independent of grant support.  Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the program.  

Please support our girls with your additional gift of $50 or more for GIRLFLY.
