I am a theatre artist. Which means I am many things...

I approach theatre making and teaching from multiple perspectives as a director, dancer, choreographer, playwright and new media designer. 

I am a Movement Theatre Specialist.
My work is based on developing the total actor by connecting the emotional, intellectual and visceral through psychophysical training. My pedagogy is influenced by and centered on experience in the practices and theories of the great master teachers Jacques Lecoq, Jerzy Grotowski and my direct training with Kari Margolis (of the Margolis Method). My course work also includes training in body awareness through the lens of Laban/Bartenieff, Viewpoints and contemplative practices such as yoga and meditation. 

I am a Theatre Maker – Director – Choreographer. ​ 
I am passionate about creating new performance works through collaborative, devised and self-generative approaches grounded in the practices of Moment Work, Viewpoints, Action Theatre, Margolis Method, and dance composition.

​I have 
produced in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Recent New York area credits include: Alluvial Shore (dance film) with Your Move: New Jersey Dance Festival, The Human Variations, four devised, site-specific events with (Blueprint Theater Project/NYC), Speaking Of… a dance-theatre piece with (NuWorks Festival NYC & Your Move: Jersey City Dance Festival). Additional directing credits: Orlando by Sarah Ruhl, Mary Zimmerman's The Secret in the Wings, Twelve Ophelias, The Lover by Pinter, 9 Parts of Desire by Heather Raffo, Mary Zimmerman’s The Odyssey, and Gao Xingjian's The Other Shore.    

I am a Artist Scholar – Researcher.
Anna earned her M.F.A in Theatre from Sarah Lawrence College with a focus in directing and movement, and her B.A. in Theatre from Rollins College. She is a member of the Association of Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) and the Association for Theatre Movement Educators (ATME). 
I am a Performer - Dancer - Actor.
