Author Information

Flyaway Productions performs apparatus-based dance that exposes the range and power of female physicality. Flyaway integrates risk, spectacle and social commentary and performs in both traditional and site-specific venues. We have danced on rooftops, fire escapes, a bridge replica, an active construction site and on a live billboard. Kreiter/Flyaway is a recipient of a 2010 Isadora Duncan Award for Special Achievement and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Creative Work Fund, Meet the Composer's Commissioning Music/USA Program and the Rockefeller/MAP fund. Artistic Director Jo Kreiter is a San Francisco-based dancer/choreographer with a background in political science. Through dance she engages imagination, physical innovation and the political conflicts we live within.
