Krisha Marcano - Educator/Choreographer/Entrepreneur
Choreographer|Director|Producer
As the resident choreographer at UNCSA's School of Drama since 2016, I have had the opportunity to work on a minimum of one musical production annually, offer guidance on dance movement for various plays, and recently, in 2022, embark on my journey as a director. Additionally, I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with esteemed organizations such as the Winston-Salem Symphony, The National Black Rep, and the National Black Theater Festival.
