Katrina Elizabeth Bastian (she/they) is a choreographer and dancer engaged with endurance dance praxis that reflects and problematizes contemporary themes of consumerism, productivity, and binary conditioning. Leveraging her US-American upbringing through a deliberately hyperbolic aesthetic, she critically examines hyper-capitalist tendencies in the digital age. Katrina's innovative ROBOFLOW training technique, developed for her choreographic works, uses the body to understand and unpack AI's impact on modern life by deconstructing established movement patterns to create tension between technical precision and authentic response. With degrees from Reed College (BA Dance/Literature) and HZT-Berlin (MA Choreography), her work spans repertory companies, durational performance, dance-theatre, and professional voice acting. Her award-winning pieces include "Soliloquy in Sweat" and "CARDIAC; the heart is a muscle," supported by the Berliner Senat. Katrinafinds greatest joy in collaborative settings, devising embodied praxis that offers alternatives to neoliberal systems of value—positioning the body in a state of being as the ultimate form of resistance.
