ANDREA MURILLO

Andrea Murillo is a classically-trained performer whose style has been widely influenced by her work with modernist dance and contemporary theatre heavyweights.

Andrea’s career in dance began at Miami’s innovative New World School of the Arts. Shortly thereafter,
she began touring with the Martha Graham Dance Company where she performed in solo roles in the acclaimed works of Lamentation (1930), Serenata Morsica (1916), Embattled Garden (1958), and Steps in the Street (1936).

Her expressive, character-forward experiences with the company lent themselves organically to her subsequent work, highlights of which include Lady Macbeth in New York’s Sleep No More (2012) and productions of Le Baccanti and Promote with Sicily’s Istituto Nazionale Dramma Antico.

These works have continued to impel her investigation of dramatic movement, immersive theatre, and their vehicles of expression, notably film. Andrea is a recent Master Interdisciplinary Arts Teacher with the National Young Arts Foundation and is a certified Gyrotonic Expansion System Teacher. She is currently screening her latest dance feature Conduit in film festivals.

KYLE DRIGGS

Kyle Driggs is a circus performer who specializes in a unique fusion of juggling, object manipulation, movement, and theatrical persona. While he developed an early interest in circus arts, his career began nine years ago at the esteemed École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal.

Upon graduation, Kyle performed an array of renowned circus shows, with a stint as a soloist in Cirque du Soleil’s Broadway run of Paramour as well as The Seven Fingers off broadway hit “Queen of The Night”. Much of his newer work, however, concentrates on the avant grade in an effort to explore the bounds of contemporary circus arts.

With a focus on experimental stage setting, immersive narratives, and the physical orchestration of common objects, Kyle’s work strives for the convergence of a modern aesthetic and high technical skill.
