Anna Hein, born in Graz and raised in Carinthia and Vienna, is a multi-award-winning international dancer and choreographer. As the former chairwoman of the CCB \u2013 Choreographic Centre Bleiburg\/Pliberk\u00a0she has been the artistic director of the\u00a0<\/span>the successful annual event\u00a0<\/span>\u201eLONG NIGHT OF DANCE\u201c \u2013 a format<\/span>, which takes place in various towns in the Alpe-Adria tri-border region of Austria, Slovenia and Italy. Furthermore, as an arts advisor for the performing arts, she provides the BMWKMS (Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport) with the best possible support in its decision-making.<\/span><\/p>

She trained in classical ballet at the Vienna State Opera, and gained experience in contemporary dance at danceWEB\/ImPulsTanz in Vienna (working with Jorma Uotinen and Ismael Ivo, amongst others), the Venice Biennale (working with Carolyn Carlson, Josef Nagy and Wim Vandekeybus) and with the Trisha Brown Company in New York. In 1998, she took up her first engagement at the Innsbruck State Theatre. After receiving the Tyrolean State Theatre and Carinthia State Prize for the Performing Arts, she was named Young Dancer of the Year by the dance magazine balletttanz international. From 2004, she was a member of the Belgian company Charleroi Danses, where, as a creative dancer, she performed in, among other things, the globally successful dance\/architecture series body-city<\/em>\u00a0Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Flamand, alongside architects Zaha Hadid and Thom Mayne. This was followed by guest appearances in theatre and festival productions both at home and abroad. She danced under renowned choreographers such as Elio Gervasi, Johann Kresnik, Jochen Ulrich, Mei Hong Lin, Jean Renshaw, Eric Trottier, Danskias and others, and always loved being a dancer with SiWiC in Zurich under the direction of Nigel Charnock and Susanne Linke \u2013 an exciting international Swiss training programme for young choreographers. During a protracted period of recovery from a work-related knee injury, her focus shifted increasingly towards developing her own choreographies, dance projects for children and young people, and teaching classical ballet, contemporary dance, Peak Pilates and movement training for actors.<\/p>

She created her first choreographic commissions for Tanzherbst Feldkirch, Swarovski Kristallwelten, Tolentini-Kreuzgang-Venedig, MMKK Klagenfurt and neuebuenevillach, among others. She increasingly swapped the conventional stage for other spaces and favoured open-air experiments. She created further choreographies such as\u00a0blanche<\/em>, inspired by Per Olov Enquist's view of the figure of Marie Curie,\u00a0the tower<\/em>, a staging of the historic diving tower in Millstatt,\u00a0the swimmer<\/em>\u00a0in co-operation with Josef Winkler,\u00a0hidden senses<\/em>\u00a0with the successful Danish band Afenginn,<\/em> painted and danced<\/em>\u00a0with the band spread<\/em> as part of the music festival of the Carinthian Summer<\/em>. She deliberately created all these pieces with live musicians, who were usually closely integrated into the action on stage.
In collaboration with theatre directors and their focus on The body as a language<\/em> Anna Hein discovered her passion: she went on to create further choreographies for, among others,\u00a0Prezih's dream<\/em>\u00a0with Bernd Liepold-Mosser,\u00a0BeingElse\u00a0<\/em>with Rachelle Nkou,\u00a0Having to live<\/em>\u00a0with Johann Kresnik,\u00a0Beet.Symph.Five<\/em>\u00a0with Ernst Kurt Weigel and the memorial project and\u00a0now<\/em>\u00a0by Peter Wagner\/Clemens Berger.<\/p>

Her own choreographic focus is currently on dance and dance-music video productions in collaboration with the Finnish-Swedish composer Kim Nyberg\/Afenginn\/ Ring<\/em>.<\/p>

Alongside her career as a dancer and choreographer, Anna has always been passionate about sharing her love of dance by running workshops in a wide variety of dance styles \u2013 tailored to the needs and ability levels of the participants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
