Christina Hughes
Christina is a dance artist and experimental filmmaker. Her movement based films examine our relational ties with place and its influences on the human experience. Currently, Christina is a company member with Andiamo Dance Company and the founder of the Ketchikan Dance Film Festival- the first dance film festival to premiere in Southeast Alaska. She is the recipient of the 2025 Chulitna Lodge Full Fellowship Award, located in Port Alsworth, Alaska.
Her choreographic works have been presented in spaces such as Dixon Place (NYC), Potsdam Performing Arts Center Center (Potsdam, New York), Irvine Valley College Performing Arts Center (Irvine, CA) and in numerous festivals such as the Spark Theatre Festival (NYC), Gigglefeet Dance Festival (Ketchikan, AK), Salty Showcase (Salt Lake City, UT), Green Space New Works Series (NYC) and Spoke the Wheel: Wheelhouse Series (NYC).
Her love for travel and placing herself in numerous varying landscapes has inspired much of her choreographic and film works. She continues to make dance works both for the screen and the stage, and loves collaborating on creative projects.
