Biography
anna vilhelmine wallin is a movement artist, researcher, teacher, and performer.
Her work is experienced through performances, writings, a training program and workshops. By using improvisation and composition her research identifies the fragile as the solid. She teaches, curates and organises spaces for movement as a form of art and practise with a focus on Contact Imrovisation, somatic practises and instant composition for performative spaces.
Currently she works with dancetheatre companies, corporates, art institutions and when invited at festivals around the world. Through her movement practice she is driven to hold less, sense more and explore what we can be and build together.

​​
Born in 1990 in Malmö, Sweden, anna began dancing ballet at age two and soon expanded into modern dance, jazz, tap, urban styles, martial arts, physical theatre,
and gymnastics. Growing up in a family with horses, she discovered vaulting and quickly advanced to the Swedish national team, competing worldwide and receiving a bronze medal at the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Jerez de la Frontera.
Movement has a has always been the central anchor in her life, eventually leading her to Contact Improvisation (C.I) a form that resonated deeply, allowing her varied practices to coalesce and evolve together. In 2022, she embarked on a postgraduate program for professional dancers, MADE (Master in Dance Education) at Stockholm University of the Arts focusing her research on the theory and practice of C.I as an evolving art form.
Today anna host an annual C.I training program in Sweden now in its fourth edition, and in the summers she co-organise the Sweden Contact Fest. Beyond Sweden she has taught and developed collaborative projects in Denmark, Finland, Germany, India, Israel, Lebanon, Senegal, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, and Turkey.
Weaving together a diverse spectrum of movement practices she is devoted to creating spaces for personal and artistic exploration in building a listening body.
