Anh Vo

Based in Brooklyn and Hanoi, Anh Vo is a Vietnamese choreographer and writer working in the expanded field of performance. Their practice mobilizes the naked body in its variations to make explicit the entanglement of power and ghostly forces that cut across flesh. Their work is situated in the unlikely lineage convergences between Downtown New York experimental performance, Hanoi performance art, and Vietnamese folk rituals. Vo is indebted to Miguel Gutierrez’s unapologetic queerness and amorphous excess, Moriah Evan’s speculative commitment to the depth of interiority, Tehching Hsieh’s existential sense of time, and Ngoc Dai’s guttural sonic landscape of postwar Vietnam. Their formal training is in Performance Studies, studying with esteemed theorists and practitioners at Brown University (BA) and New York University (MA). Vo is currently an Adjunct Instructor at Cooper Union.

Study, Study More, Study Forever follows a performer working through research notes and inherited stories in real time, testing how they can be arranged into form. Rather than presenting concrete conclusions, the piece exposes the labor of translation itself, where confusion and ambiguity become the material from which structure is built.
