Performer. Choreographer. Deaf Artist
Fingers pushing through the floor as the sensitive spine snakes through space is the spirit of Anna’s movement. Her style is an athletic integration of her floorwork, contact improvisation and gymnastics background. Drawn to adventure - she often climbs public structures, creating unique movements in relationship to the specificities of a space.
As an artist Anna values collaborating with Disabled dancers- bringing together deaf, disabled and contemporary dance worlds. She is captivated by the visual exploration of inaudible verbal language and the use of repetition to generate energy and meaning. As a teacher, anna has developed her own movement workshop ‘Textured Listening’ an embodied approach to picking up movement through a curiosity of sensory sensitivity and deepening sensory perception.
Anna is a company member with AXIS Dance Company.
Performance and teaching highlights include Germany, Mexico, Ireland, Greece, Jerusalem, Lincoln Center, Stanford and throughout the USA.
