Olivia Kissel is a vibrant voice in Contemporary Ethnic Dance. She is known for infusing concept-driven work with passionate expression and smooth technique. Her emotive and elegant approach to dance results in lyrical, dynamic stage presentations.
Olivia explores the expressive potential of folkloric, urban, and classical dance forms in her solo performances, choreographies and theatrical productions, creating work that weaves a rich tapestry of movement, light and texture that is fresh, modern and relevant to both historical and current perspectives.
Olivia is also know for her multi-media theatrical presentations in which she uses dance, live and recorded music, comedy, aerialists, lighting, video, visual art, sculpture, food and libations to create a “full-contact” installation in which participants immerse themselves in a timeless environment evocative of bygone eras, yet fresh as morning dew.

Olivia is an infinite source of inspiration and knowledge. She exudes awesomeness! I am very grateful and fortunate to have been able to take some of her workshops and see some performances and also spend time chatting. I hope to do so again many more times in the future!
– Love & Undulations, Beatrice
… Olivia – adopt me pleeease!
