A native Californian, Amanda Prince-Lubawy began training in classical ballet under the teachings of Pamela Hayes in Sacramento. In 2009 she received her B.F.A. in Performance at University of California, Irvine where she immersed herself in modern and contemporary dance, working diligently on performance projects with modern and contemporary choreographers Loretta Livingston, Donald McKayle, and Yvonne Rainer. In December 2010 she received her M.A. at LABAN for the degree of Dance Theatre: The Body in Performance. Currently she is working on "Production" by Xavier LeRoy and Marten Spangberg at the Hayward Gallery in the current exhibition, “MOVE: Choreographing YOU” (Oct.-Jan. 2011). Other London-based performances include Franko B.’s "I'm Thinking of You" (Royal College of Art, 2009), and "Untitled (Syncopations for more bodies)" with Kira O’Reilly (Queen Mary University, 2010). Her work is largely excited by questions of the body as a performing archive, continually reproducing matter, and specifically what the female body experiences through a continuum of embedding and (re)surfacing activities.
