Anna Peretz Rogovoy is a dance artist and educator currently based in the US Midwest. Her choreographic research is located at the collision of rigorous formalism and gross humanity, offering a critical queer feminist perspective on ecology, gendered bodies, and dance itself. Anna was based in NYC from 2012-2021, after which time she earned her MFA in Dance from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. While in NYC, Anna developed a relationship with the Merce Cunningham Trust, performing multiple reconstructions of Cunningham’s work and most recently becoming an authorized teacher of Cunningham Technique®. She was also a longtime student and assistant with the late master teacher Janet Panetta, who profoundly influenced Anna’s approach to ballet pedagogy. Anna’s choreography, called “moving architecture, sculptural and strong” by The Dance Enthusiast, has been presented in many NYC venues as well as in upstate New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
