General Experience

Krista-Papista is a performer, producer and director based in London. Born in 1989 the Cypriot/ Australian Krista Manison grew up in Nicosia, Cyprus and has been writing, producing and performing since the age of 14. After studying Performance Art in London, Krista is now pursuing her career through collaborative projects and performances. Each of her projects comprise recurring themes of mixed observations, that revolve around mounting feelings of paranoia, stupidity, pleasures still untasted, idiosyncratic reactions and invisible designs. Papista celebrates the presence of contrast in all of it's forms and expressions with her methodology remaining consistent; it is as much of a design, as it is an accident. Papista has performed at various music venues including Behind Bars (London), Summer Love Fest 2011 opening for John Digweed at Lemon Park, Nicosia and generally enjoys the challenge of contrasting crowds. "Light, colour and significance do not exist in isolation. They modify, or are manifested by objects" -Huxley . In this sense she usually tends to use her presence (body/voice), as an illuminating object in her projects and performances.
