Manage episode 247731317 series 2303037
Kristin Kusonovich is a senior lecturer in the Theater and Dance department. She has produced, choreographed and directed over 100 works in dance, drama, musical theatre, opera, film, and video. She has been a curriculum developer, teacher mentor, movement and vocal coach, and master teaching artist for 30 years in the professional sector as well is in PreK-12 grades at over 50 diverse school sites. As President of the California Dance Education Association, she works with a statewide team to advance the quality of dance arts education in the state through legislation, advocacy, and professional development offerings. Kristen studied dance at Santa Clara as an undergraduate, and worked in Minneapolis for 10 years before returning as a lecturer.
This year, Kristin founded a new project called tUrn: a week of events around the climate crisis. In this conversation, we discuss how Kristin’s unique arts background connects with her passion for sustainability, what motivated her to start tUrn, the use of the term “climate crisis” instead of “climate change,” and some of the best advice I’ve ever heard for incoming students.
