Anna Macdonald
Anna Macdonald (annamacdonaldart.co.uk) is a dance/moving image artist and scholar from the United Kingdom, who specializes in working directly with the public. Influenced by Mark Johnson’s (2008) notion of bodily ‘schema,’ she is interested in using dance to expose the emotional and conceptual resonance of simple actions such as, moving from ‘here to there’, ‘unfolding’ or ‘getting slower’. Anna’s work has been shown at galleries and festivals such as Festival Ciné-Corps, Paris, Athens Video dance project, Agite y Sirva, Mexico, Home, Manchester, Art Currents, New York, Somerset House, London, Lightmoves, Ireland, Dascamdans, Belgium, Miden Festival, Greece, VideodanzaBA, Argentina and was nominated for the International Video Dance awards in Barcelona. Her work was selected as a flagship project for AHRC-funded research into socially engaged art and she has published several articles about the body, time and film.
