I’m Anna — a contemporary dancer, movement practitioner, poet and mother exploring the ways movement, creativity and embodied experience can deepen our relationship with ourselves, one another and the world we live in.

My practice has grown from a lifelong relationship with dance, beginning with formal training in contemporary dance and developing through performance, choreography, multidisciplinary collaboration, teaching and movement research.

Alongside my dance practice, I have become increasingly interested in the body as a place of sensing, remembering, expressing and transforming — particularly through the profound transitions of motherhood.

I’m currently developing The Lila Project, a research-led creative practice exploring cyclical movement for women and women who mother. It brings together contemporary dance, somatic movement, hormonal cyclicity, motherhood and play; asking what becomes possible when movement is used not to change ourselves, but to meet ourselves where we are and support who we are becoming.

Alongside this work, I am training as a Movement Therapy Practitioner, continuing to explore the relationship between movement, emotion and lived experience.

I also write poetry as an intimate form of expression, giving shape to the internal journeys that move beneath the surface.

Across all of my work, I’m interested in the interconnection of body and mind, stillness and movement, grief and joy, identity and transformation — and in the potential of creativity to enrich our human experience.
