Off-Season: Amanda Krische presents Double Blade

There are some things that happen to you where you think: “Surely, any moment now, someone is going to walk up behind me, tap me on the shoulder, apologize for the inconvenience, and guide me back home to my real life.” Double Blade is an interdisciplinary dance-theater work about the events that come before and after that moment and other such moments, about the things that are hidden, and about the stories we tell to make sense of what cannot be explained.

Amanda Krische is a choreographer, writer, educator, and herbalist creating performance experiences and movement workshops focused on memory, ritual, and healing in individual, social, and environmental bodies. She has premiered work at such venues as the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, The Public Theater, and The Kitchen and has been supported by YoungArts, New York State Council for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Grace Farms Foundation, and the Jerome Foundation. She has held residencies at Omi International Arts Center, Keshet, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Arts Center, Perelman Arts Center, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, and the Camargo Foundation. She served on faculty in the dance department at LaGuardia H.S., and has been a guest lecturer at Harvard, NYU, and Cooper Union. She has also developed movement curriculum and performance in collaboration with the Louis Armstrong House Museum and the Pina Bausch Foundation. She is currently an MA Candidate in the Performance Studies Department at NYU, and is a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
