Eva Dean founded Eva Dean Dance (EDD) in 1985.  Throughout the years her extensive body of work has received critical acclaim and accolades from audiences, presenters and students. Known for its innovation and vibrancy, EDD thrives in unusual settings and working with varied props. Dean works closely with guest artists such as musicians, puppet masters, lighting, set, and costume designers to weave a visually rich tapestry.  Dean is a graduate of Hampshire College and still thrives on the experimental approach that was instilled in her during her formative years. Dean has also taught numerous master and guest artist workshops for students of all ages in public schools, colleges, and internationally.  As a dance advocate, Dean has moderated and served on numerous dance panels and forums in New York City. - See more at: http://wassaicproject.org/dance/#1
