Anna Barker

Anna Barker hails from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is thrilled to be back in her home state! After attending high school at Durham School of the Arts, along with multiple intensives at North Carolina School of the Arts and the American Dance Festival, she went on to graduate from Temple University’s BFA program in 2009 with a concentration in choreography. She also received a BA in Clinical Psychology. Since her relocation to New York City, Anna has created and performed primarily with Manhattan-based company Megan Bascom & Dancers. She has also shown her own work at Dance New Amsterdam, New York University and Triskelion Arts in Brooklyn. Anna enjoys creating movement specific to her own experiences, and explores the human condition through gesture and idiosyncratic movement. Most recently, she has been furthering her movement practice by completing a Pilates apparatus certification through InsideOut Body Therapies in Durham, NC.
