Anna Chirescu is a choreographer and dance performer. After training at CNSMD Conservatory in Paris, I completed my education at the University of California, Irvine, where I attended Yvonne Rainer’s workshops. Alongside my dance career, I graduated in Modern Literature and Humanities. Since 2005, I have performed with numerous choreographers and danced Merce Cunningham’s repertoire internationally at CNDC Angers company. In 2017, I co-founded a collective company name Lava with visual artist Grégoire Schaller, creating works such as Dirty Dancers, Ordeal by Water, VACA (2022), and my first solo KATA (2025). I like to explore the relationships between body, memory, and socio-political subjects through a multidisciplinary practice combining dance, voice, narrative, and visual forms.
