Saa tuttavaks Acrofestonia X õpetajatega - Krista Köster
Krista on kogenud ning mitmekülgse taustaga etenduskunstnik, koreograaf, tantsu ja jooga õpetaja, helimeditatsioonide ja gongirännakute läbiviija.
Kuulub ETKL ridadesse ja on varasemalt õpetanud tantsu nii Tallinna Ülikooli koreograafia osakonnas, EMTA Lavakunsti koolis (Tiit Ojasoo lend), külalisõetajana Viljandi Kultuuriakadeemias, ETA Tantsukoolis, TantsuRuumis ja mitmetes muudes huvikoolides ja stuudiotes. Ta on teinud koostööd erinevate lavastajatega sh Peeter Raudsepp, Kristina Paškevicius, Maria Goltsman, Jüri Nael jpt.
Hetkel on ta aktiivselt seotud kontaktimprovisatsiooni arendamise ja juhendamisega TantsuRuumis, viib läbi kaasaegse tantsu ja jooga kursuseid Tallinna Rahvaülikoolis ning on kutsutud vabakutselise etenduskunstnikuna osalema mitmetele festivalidele ja üritustele nii Eestis, UKs, Indias.
Ta on viimased 10 aastat külastanud ja elanud pikemalt Indias ning Nepaalis, kust on pärit ka tema huvi ja teadmised vaimsetes praktikates, kaasaarvatud helimeditatsioonid.
Igasuguses praktikas on talle oluline alles hoida uudishimu ja mänguline suhtumine, katsetada uusi lähenemisi, meetodeid, eksperimenteerida. Etendaja ja tervendajana kõnetab teda praegu etendus- ja tervendava kunsti vaheliste piiride nihutamine ning nende ühendamine oma loomingus.
