Anna is an actor-creator located in Portland, OR who originated from northern Minnesota.  From a young age, she knew she was destined for the stage and so pursued her delights, beginning in the depths of her treehouse and working up to a B.A. in theatre from Concordia College, Moorhead in the spring of 2012.   She then moved out to the west coast and graduated from Dell’arte International School of Physical Theatre the following spring.  Throughout her educational adventures she refined and expanded her calling to encompass many artistic outlets including not only the stage, but also music, poetics, painting, crafting and dance.  Through Dell’arte, she created four original works in an ensemble including “Free-range Commedia,” “Finding the Way Home,” “Who You Callin’ Bozo?” and “Mom?”.  Now in Portland, she is continuing down the path of devised new work and has since involved herself in several pieces, including “Mustache,” “Overlanders: A Misadventure,” and the continuation of "Mom?".
