Irina Kruchinina: Moving Poetry

'tween Ideas and Performance 

Irina Kruchinina is an interdisciplinary artist scholar whose spectacles, choreography, and installations explore poetry as the relationship between language and space as it is fulfilled in the musicality of movement. Acoustic image and archi-text-urality are the central concepts of her PhD Dissertation in Comparative Literature; they lay in the foundation to her method of performative reasoning, approach to composition, and reason to perform. As a part of her praxis in directing, devising, and performing, she offers training in performance as research, physical dramaturgy and analytic movement based on classical forms of dance, writing for artists, and intermedia interpretation. Her sessions lead towards fully developed projects in literature, performance, and the arts.
