Annie Hanauer

Annie Hanauer is an independent dance artist based between the UK & France, originally from the USA. Annie works internationally and has performed, toured, choreographed, and taught extensively for over a decade, currently performing with long-time collaborator Rachid Ouramdane/CCN2 Grenoble and the Paris Chamber Orchestra. She is interested in the experiences of people who have been 'othered', stemming from her own lived experience as a disabled woman, and extending to a wider idea of inclusivity.

She is interested in who has access to dance both as an audience and performer, and wants to disrupt dominant ideas of a normative dancing body. Her own choreographic work has involved developing methodology for group performance improvisation, and she is currently developing projects around disability, caring & motherhood, and ideas of utopia & collective imagination. She approaches movement with curiosity and looks for the coincidence of pleasure and sweat. Annie's choreographic work has been supported by Arts Council England, Siobhan Davies Dance, CCN2 Grenoble, Candoco Dance Company and The Place.
