Spark Artist

Hannah Krafcik is a Portland-based neuroqueer artist. Throughout all their making, they rely on their love of pattern recognition to locate connections, cultivate language and build relationships. Hannah has been taking dance classes since they were five years old as a way to satiate their sensory needs and bodymind curiosities. Sensorial inquiry continues to be a central facet of their work. Their ever-growing list of practices include performance, movement education, photography, new media and arts journalism.

Hannah often makes performances and teaches in collaboration with artistic partner, Emily Jones. Their work together is rooted in shared authorship and interdisciplinary processes, as well as mutual listening and adaptive thinking. Hannah is also part of a group of Queer Contact Improvisers who create performances together and take turns facilitating community dance space.
