Andrew Schneider

Andrew Schneider is mostly interested in how humans telling stories about ourselves to each other can make us better at being humans. And how much the second law of thermodynamics and grief have in common. He is an OBIE award-winning, Drama Desk-nominated performer, writer, and interactive-electronics artist creating original works for theater, dance, sound, video, and installation since 2003. Right before the pandemic Andrew premiered the choreographic work “remains” commissioned by the Sasha Waltz & Guests company at Radialsystem in Berlin, Germany. During the pandemic he began work on a narrative, immersive installation set to premiere in NYC in 2023. The in-development title is NOWISWHENWEARE. Original performance work in NYC includes NERVOUS/SYSTEM (2018, BAM Next Wave); AFTER (2018, Under the Radar, The Public Theater); YOUARENOWHERE (2015 OBIE award, 2016 Drama Desk nominated); DANCE/FIELD (2014, Roulette); TIDAL (2013, River to River); and WOW+FLUTTER (2010, The Chocolate Factory Theater), among others. Andrew has been a recurring collaborator with The TEAM, Lars Jan / Early Morning Opera, Annie Saunders, David Dorfman Dance, Hotel Savant, and Fischerspooner. He was a 2019 Visiting Fellow in Theater Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University. Andrew is a recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts “Grants to Artists” award (2020), is currently a Sundance “Art of the Practice” Fellow and has received a fellowship from the Junge Akademie / Akademie Der Künste in Berlin (2022). He teaches a recurring class on original-flavor reality at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU.
