Kiraly has collaborated extensively with innovative theater companies and artists in New York and beyond. Her set designs include Compass for Rachel Dickstein; the Barrymore Award–nominated Franklin’s Key; Chekhov Lizardbrain, Isabella, and Pay Up with the Pig Iron Theatre Company; and Walk Across America with Taylor Mac and the Talking Band. With the Talking Band, she has also designed sets and projections for Existentialism (dir. by Anne Bogart). Other projects include site-specific environment design for Lunar Retreat and The Garden (Nichole Canuso Dance Company), and 36 PEAKS at the Baryshnikov Arts Center (S. C. Sunde); as well as set design for the ’26 Sanctuary US Tour for the SilkRoad Ensemble.
Kiraly’s independent multimedia works inspired by H. Murakami’s short stories—The Quake, Slow Ascent, and UFO (St. Ann’s Warehouse)—received support from the Jim Henson Foundation and reflect her ongoing interest in the intersection of image, sound, and narrative. She has been recognized with the ArtsLink Grant, the NEA/TCG Program for Designers, and the TCG New Generations Fellowship (with The Talking Band).
Her academic collaborations include teaching and design projects with Barnard/Columbia, Fordham University, The New School, Smith College, Montclair State, and Lehigh University, among others.
Kiraly has taught Scenic Design and Media at Barnard/Columbia and SUNY Purchase, mentoring emerging designers and encouraging cross-disciplinary exploration between visual art, theater, and architecture. Away from the stage, she continues her studio practice through painting and drawing, exploring the geometric and emotional dimensions of color and space.
