Katie Pustizzi, MFA (she/her) is an Interdisciplinary Movement Artist from the Boston area. She is the creative visionary and director of “Liquid Spine”, a global film series that explores the interconnectedness of our water systems through ecology, conservation, and embodied movement. Her artistic practices are driven by improvisational and experiential movement forms. Katie’s performative pieces always contain moments of chance connection, via scored works or completely free-form improvisations.
Katie is deeply interested in international exchange as a form of artistic research. In 2019, she explored Gaga with Batsheva Dance Company in Israel on a professional development grant from Gann Academy. In 2022, she explored Dance and Perception in Sardinia, Italy through the Aiken Scholarship from Wilson College, her alma mater.
Katie currently serves as an Adjunct Professor of Dance at Dean College and frequently shares her improvisationally-focused creation process as an Artist in Residence at various universities and schools across the country. For 10-years, Katie served as the Founder/Artistic Director of Aurora Borealis Dance Company, a mentoring-centered youth ensemble for aspiring movement artists under the age of 20. During these years, she created “State of Flux” a fully-improvisational movement experience, in which the audience chooses music, movement constraints, and dancer pairings during a live-performance. Katie is now pursuing her work as an independent-artist.
