Baye & Asa
Program
Amadi ‘Baye’ Washington and Sam ‘Asa’ Pratt known as the dance duo Baye and Asa, met when they were 6 years old, becoming over the years, in their words, “bodies shaped by a shared education.”
They have presented their movement art projects at The Joyce Theater, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pioneer Works, Jacob's Pillow, and many more. At the Schwarzman Center Baye & Asa will present two public performances: “Suck it Up,” a duet confronting the violent fallout of male insecurity and entitlement, and an in-process showing of a new work on Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27.
Baye & Asa’s visit includes a public dance class in the Schwarzman Dance Studio on Sunday, January 28 offered as part of the Center’s new EveryBody Dances at Yale Schwarzman Center dance class series.
