Experimental choreographer Andros-Zins-Browne’s The Chaos Opera is a participatory workshop for voice. Exploring ways that we can sing ,together without singing the same, The Chaos Opera opens up the potentials of dissonance to inspire deep listening and cohesive cacophony. No vocal experience or expertise required!
Andros Zins-Browne (New York, 1981) works at the intersection of performance and dance, extending choreographic practice into encounters with dancers, nondancers, singers, students, objects, and texts. He recently premiered duel c (River-To-River Festival, 2023) and duel H (Danspace Project, 2024) in choreographies that commingled violence and care. His ongoing research project, The Chaos Opera, explores the potential for participants to connect with each other through dissonance. Zins-Browne’s work has been presented at the ICA, London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai; Fondation Galeries Lafayette, Paris; Dia Art Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He is the recipient of awards from the Goethe-Institut; Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts; Ministry of Culture of the Flemish Community; and New York State Council on the Arts. He lives in Brooklyn, Lenapehoking.
