Known for creating thought-provoking, emotionally moving dance-theater works that use performance as a site of social practice, Amanda Krische is an interdisciplinary choreographer, dancer, writer, educator, and herbalist committed to using dance as a way to build bridges between people, cultures, disciplines, and ways of being. With a body of work recognized both nationally and internationally, she creates work that queries the boundaries of performance: placing movement in dialogue with disciplines as diverse as neuroscience, theoretical physics, ecology, anthropology, and ethnography. Amanda received her BFA in Dance from Purchase College and is a current MA Candidate in Performance Studies at NYU. She has been an artist-in-residence at institutions such as LMCC, Perelman Arts Center, Omi International Arts Center, Kaatsbaan, Rosas/P.A.R.T.S., and the Camargo Foundation. As a dance educator, Amanda has been a guest teacher at Harvard, NYU, and Cooper Union, and has collaborated with institutions such as the Pina Bausch Foundation and the Louis Armstrong House Museum.
