Amanda E. Hamp
Amanda E. Hamp is currently the Faculty Fellow in Dance at Colby College. She writes, teaches, dances, and makes dances, and her research lives at intersections of practice and scholarship. She is developing ‘experiential aesthetics’ as an interpretive lens for investigating practices and works of experimental dance artists. Her creative work queries how performance can be powerful due to genuine, yet staged, honesty and vulnerability. She performs and presents choreography across the United States and internationally, both independently and as a co-founding member of AGA Collaborative. Hamp holds degrees from Luther College (B.A.), the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance (Professional Diploma in Dance Studies), and the University of Iowa (M.F.A.).
