Andrea’s recent work is about blurring the distinction between body, garment and sculpture, as well as spontaneous movement. By maintaining a non-verbal interaction with the audience, she forces participants into communication modes that reach beyond everyday spoken language, and circumvent predictable responses.

Her physical explorations are influenced by Japanese Butoh dance, the non-verbal communication techniques of American Sign Language and improvisational movements from modern dance. These efforts amount to a culmination of body-based modes of expression for describing emotion and sound.

The relational dimensions of Andrea’s work ensure the potential for audience members to become a dynamic part of it, as it unfolds in real time. The audience is participatory and interactive, therefore necessary for the completion of live events.
