Kristine White is a multidisciplinary artist with a practise rooted in visual and installation art and live performance. She regularly collaborates with other artists, dancers, poets, directors, and musicians. As an artist, Kristine has created and produced performances and installations independently, and worked for national and international theatre companies designing puppets, props, and costumes. She also regularly leads arts workshops and facilitates community-based creative activities. As an artist from a working class background who was not trained in an art school, community-based and grassroots creative activities are a big part of Kristine's ethos as an artist. She has worked as a designer and performer with Clay and Paper Theatre (Canada), Shadowland Theatre (Canada), Volcano Theatre (Canada), and Ayusaya Puppet Theatre (Greece), among others. Most recently, she has been exploring new media and digital arts through multi-channel video. Fascinated by the simplicity of light and shadow, much of Kristine’s work uses shadow puppetry, light boxes, and/or paper-cut shadow castings. Kristine has been awarded several Canada Council, Ontario Arts Council, and Toronto Arts Council grants to support her visual and performance arts projects.
