Karinne Keithley has been done lots. Right now she is working on a doctorate in English at the ex-department store of the sun, that is the megalopolis' own CUNY Grad Center. Her purpose there is genealogical and philosophical toward being a good living documentarian/participant of the New York City communities she's been a part of for the last ten years--dance, performance, theater, writing. Esoteric edges of.

Besides scholarship and teaching, her life lies in the gift economy for which she writes new plays, makes movies on a very small scale, makes sounds, and publishes books through the 53rd State Press. This website and its future interior ferney, are the steadiest venues for these projects.

After a few years off performance, she is returning to the boards. This spring she can be found singing at the True/False Film Festival in Missouri, and performing in Orestes with the Big Dance Theater posse, under the auspices of Classic Stage Copmany. She made/collaborated on many shows which were performed in New York at Danspace Project at St. Mark's, Dixon Place, Prelude 06, P.S. 122, E. 13th St Theater, Dance Theater Workshop, Joyce SoHo, St. Ann's Warehouse, Tonic, Joe's Pub, Galapagos, NYU, Catch in many places, and most beloved of all at Ur, your neighborhood dance palace now deceased, which she co-founded with Chris Yon. She is a member of the posse known as JOYCE CHO. She also performed for Chris, Sara Smith, Young Jean Lee, and David Neumann; choreographed regularly for The Civilians and the Talking Band; won an Obie in 2003.

She taught annually at Hollins University (dance) for ten years, has been on the faculty of American Dance Festival, taught as a visiting lecturer at Amherst College (theater) and Brooklyn College (English), and has been a guest artist at Mount Holyoke College, the Duncan Center Conservatory in Prague, Dartmouth College, U-Wisconsin Madison, North Carolina State, and Texas Women's University (tanz). She now teaches as a teaching fellow at Brooklyn College, and teaches writing to kids even more conceptually wacked out than she, at Cooper Union
