b. 1996 (chicago, illinois)
Raised in Minnesota, Anna has worked as a dance artist and educator in New York City for the past decade. At the end of 2022 she returned to the Twin Cities to pursue the next season of her creative work, and now works between both Minnesota and New York.
Anna’s most recent work includes the premier of Ashwini Ramaswamy’s Invisible Cities, as well as projects with TU Dance Company, Joe Chvala’s Flying Foot Forum, Rovaco Dance Company, and the Des Moines Metro Opera.
Her work as an educator has included Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Neighborhood Playhouse, Daya Yoga Studio, the NYC Public School System, Zenon Dance School, Hothouse Minneapolis, and the TU Dance Center, among others.
Anna also practices Thai Bodywork, and is studying for her MS in Human Movement Science. Her passion for bodily education spills into both her teaching and artistic work. Her current creations explore the creation of imagery and architecture by transposing rhythm and other musical languages onto the body.
Her powerful energy is unique in its ability to quickly morph from style to style, all while maintaining a supple articulation and water-like quality.
