anna marchisello
Anna Marchisello is an artist who believes in the connective and transformative power of movement as medicine. Originally from North Carolina, Anna's experiences have taken her to the dance community in Los Angeles, the interdisciplinary landscape in Berlin, and the visual art department at New York University, where she completed her BFA in 2017.
After taking time away from dance to pursue other art forms and residency explorations in Berlin, Anna now brings her art direction, video editing, and dance training together in her creative practice. Her interest in dance as the medium stems from reverence for movement as a powerful healing modality through which we can call ourselves back to embodiment and cultivate meaningful community.
She has performed in Dancer: A Musical in Ten Furlongs, a solo work Hypervigilant Mutation choreographed by Heather Lang, and the short film "Simulation" created in collaboration with Heather Lang, Purdie Baumann, and Norma Kamali, which she developed, performed in, and edited. Her assistant and associate choreographer credits include Ingrid Michaelson, Advil, Journey of the 50 at Expo 2020 in Dubai, and a yet untitled original movie musical. She currently serves as resident choreographer for the Sarafinas, teaches at Peridance Center, serves as Co-Director of the Bridge Movement pre-professional training program, and is developing two live shows based in NYC.
