We are delighted to have choreographer Kristin O’Neal restage one of her many original works for the Emory Dance Company this semester. Read on for more about Kristin’s background and her piece, Sweet Suite!
Kristin O’Neal is a performer, teacher, and choreographer residing in Atlanta, GA where she also works as Rehearsal Director for Core Dance and teaches for the Emory Dance Program. She received her MFA in dance from Hollins University/ADF and taught at the University of Florida, where she continued her research of solo performance and character creation. Her character investigations led to a series of solos inspired by the lives of her grandmothers as well as her aunts and great aunts. Many of these solos live in the repertoire of Sarasota Contemporary Dance in Florida.
Kristin’s restaged work set on the Emory Dance Company debuts November 21-23 in the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts dance studio. Sweet Suite was originally created over the span of a decade and O’Neal says that the piece “shares a glimpse into the inner life of seven women—where the sweet meets the bittersweet through moments of elation, despair, humor, heartbreak and determination.”
