She is deeply passionate about the body-mind practice and somatic experiencing, and works to nurture that connection for people via movement in her signature method and class Unstructured, which she offers in person and online. Anna’s movement journey led her to pole dancing, to which she took an unconventional approach and viewed the pole as a simple prop to enhance her prior dance background. By ridding the aerial apparatus of any cultural preconceptions, she applied her own symbolism and intentions to the pole, which in turn created a deeply personal connection to her movement expression. She fine-tuned this exploration with developmental prompts and motifs meant to encourage, rediscover and explore ways to move as a dancer, while also deepening the connection to her authentic self. A transracial and transnational Indonesian adoptee who spent her early life in Sweden, Anna was intrigued by identity and what makes us who we are. Her desire to bridge the gap between her inner and outer self has carried a personal significance throughout her life, and found early on that dance was a valuable tool in this connection. She became intuitive to her inner landscape and imagination at a young age, and when expressed by the art of dance she also found the power to transform not just as an artist but as an individual. To Anna, dance goes beyond artistry and serves as the bridge to her inner voice, healing powers, and spiritual self. In addition to her Unstructured work, Anna offers guided movement and creative arts services as a healing modality to the adult adoptee community (age 18+).
