BIOMatt immersed in Shambhala Buddhism at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado where he took a deep dive into somatic psychology and yoga. He holds a BFA in Dance from Cornish College of the Arts, has studied Gaga with Ohad Naharin / Batsheva Dance Company (Tel Aviv), worked with Danielle Agami / Ate 9 Dance Company (Los Angeles), and tEEth Performance (Portland). He has also worked extensively with Kate Wallich + the YC (Seattle), and as a choreographer and performer with the radical experimental theater company Saint Genet (Vienna).
His work has been presented locally at On the Boards, Velocity Dance Center, and Decibel Electronic Music Festival and internationally at Luminato Festival (Toronto), Holland Festival (Amsterdam), Wiener Festwochen (Vienna), and Donau Festival (Krems). His art has yielded to a call to occupy more liminal spaces; off the proscenium stage and deep into the underground music scene. He has been teaching yoga and shaping dance experiences in Seattle since 2013. He completed his Reiki Master Training with Lisa Levine in Mazunte, Mexico (2019), and a Thai Massage intensive with Eric Spivack in Ko Samui, Thailand (2020). He is currently attending Maui Academy of Healing Arts in Kihei, Maui. |
