'Making Change' at BAX, 4th April 2009

We're delighted that guest artist Christina Reaves will be performing Rachel Wynne's 'Making Change' at BAX Upstart Festival on April 4th.

expandance met Christina through a recent piece by Krista Racho-Jansen that Rachel and Alicia danced in, and we felt she was perfect to take Alicia's place in 'Making Change', which was originally choreographed on her.

About Christina: After a BFA in Music: Voice Performance from Georgia State University, and an MFA in Dance from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Christina Noel Reaves pursues dance and voice performance, instruction, and composition. In addition to singing in operas and musicals, she has had the privilege of dancing for Doug Elkins, Ellis Wood, David Dorfman, Ivy Baldwin, Curt Haworth, Gary Abbott, Christopher Williams, Gus Solomons Jr., Kay Cummings, Candess Giyan, Melanie Lynch-Blanchard, Kelly Hayes, Patrycja Noworol, Yue Yin, and Carlos Cruz.
