Spark Artist

Hannah Krafcik is a Portland-based transdisciplinary neuroqueer artist. Throughout all their making they rely on their proclivity for 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. Their tendency toward sensorial inquiry continues to be a central facet of their work. Their ever-growing list of practices include performance, photography, new media and arts journalism. Hannah often makes performances and teaches in collaboration with artistic partner, Emily Jones. Together, the two build intimate and sensorial choreographies, exploring the tensions between social power dynamics and unnamed personal needs. Hannah is also part of a group of Queer Contact Improvisers who create performances together and take turns facilitating community dance space.
