Baye & Asa
Choreographers
Baye & Asa is a company creating movement art projects directed and choreographed by Amadi "Baye" Washington and Sam "Asa" Pratt. The two grew up together in New York City, and their shared educational history is the mother of their work. Hip Hop and African dance languages are the foundation of their technique. The rhythms of these techniques inform the way Baye & Asa energetically confront contemporary dance, theater, and film. They have presented their work at The Joyce Theater, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, Pioneer Works, The 92nd Street Y, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Jacob’s Pillow, Yale University, ODC, b12 festival, University of Maryland, Blacklight Summit, Southampton Arts Center, Bard College, Vassar College, and Battery Dance Festival. They were selected as one of Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch" for 2022 and are recipients of Dance Magazine's 2023 Harkness Promise Award. Their film work has won numerous awards and has been presented internationally.
