July 2nd | 7:00pm-8:30pm | Arts Mission Oak Cliff

This month Agora Artists is proud to bring local dancers a pop-up class at AMOC with Anna Bauer!

My class is a series of anatomical puzzles in the form of choreographed and improvisational exercises. These exercises challenge us to access our authentic weight, momentum, and specific initiation points within our anatomy in order to achieve the intended movement pathways. We put all of these pieces together in a final (fun!) phrase. Through this idea of anatomical puzzles, I hope to give people a chance to access both their physicality and their ability to remain mentally present. Together, we use our problem-solving brains to feel and focus on the current movement and the current moment.   

About Anna

Anna is a person living in Austin, Texas, and wearing the hats of choreographer and dancer. She holds a BFA in Dance from Sam Houston State University and currently dances for the KDH Dance Company and Allysen Hooks Projects while maintaining a personal focus on choreography. She often collaborates with fellow artist Jairus Carr. Right now, her work investigates things like details, clothing, and puzzles. Events across Texas have been kind enough to include her pieces in their lineup: ARCOS Presents Short Form, Austin Dance Festival, BLiPSWiTCH’s Offbeat X, Barnstorm Dance Fest, Texas Dance Improvisation Festival, and local concerts produced by Austin artists such as ZATERO Dance, Emily Rushing, Carissa Topham Fisher, and Jahna Bobolia. She has also brought her work to national festivals, most recently White Wave Soloduo Dance Festival and RAD Fest Midwest Dance Festival. She has attended residencies with Keshet Makers Space Experience, WhirlWind Dance Company, Homeport Art House, and Bellingham Repertory Dance. Anna also does other non-dance-related things, but you can ask her about those in person.
