Jo KreiterArtistic Director at Flyaway Productions and founder of GIRLFLYJo is a San Francisco-based choreographer with a background in political science.

Kreiter’s tools include community collaboration, a masterful use of place, a feminist lens and a body-based push against the constraints of gravity.
