Anna Pinault is a Twin Cities native, who cut her teeth on nearly a decade in New York City, and currently works around the country as a dance artist and educator.

​

Her most recent performance work includes projects with TU Dance Company, Black Label Movement, Rovaco Dance Company, and the Des Moines Metro Opera. Anna has performed works by Yusha-Marie Sorzano, Stephanie Batten Bland, Ronald K. Brown, Trebien Pollard, Alanna Morris, Isaac Martin Lerner, Rohan Bhargava, Joe Chvala, Dani Cole, Chafin Seymour, Gabe Katz, Kora Radella, Angelica Sitskin, and Catherine Cabeen, among others. Her powerful and dynamic energy is unique in its ability to morph from style to style, all while maintaining dynamic articulation and grounded subtlety.

​

Anna’s recent choreography includes works commissioned by The Walker Art Center’s 2023 Choreographer’s Evening, TU Dance’s CULTIVATE Trainee Program, Black Label Movement: Movers Make, Zenon Dance School’s Zone Program, and Perpich Center for Arts Education. With a background in music, Anna’s choreographic creations are often soaked in rhythmic complexity and use movement as a musical voice. Her most recent creation entitled foot/hold, is a solo work that embodies creature-like physicality and metamorphosis, and explores tension, release, and impact. 

 

Anna is also passionate about sharing the power of movement through education, and her work as an educator has included The Dance Theatre of Harlem School, The Neighborhood Playhouse School, Zenon Dance School, Minnesota Dance Theatre & School, TU Dance Center, and the NYC Public School System, among others. She holds a Master’s Degree in Applied Exercise Science with a concentration in Human Movement Science from Concordia University Chicago, and is invested in educating and empowering dancers of all ages with knowledge about their bodies.
