Anna Drozdowski

Anna Drozdowski (production stage manager) instigates extraordinary cultural experiences and builds structures in which wildness can grow. Delivery systems include international exchange, cups of tea, gently coiffed conversations, retreats, festivals, and belles lettres. She led the adaptive re-use of Neighborhood House, was on the faculty at the Socially Engaged MFA program at Moore, facilitated with ArtistsU, and began the Headlong Performance Institute. Drozdowski co-founded thinkingdance.net and Thirdbird. Recent projects include tours to Koorbienale, Helsinki Opera, David Lang’s Symphony for a Broken Orchestra, a new opera with Philip Glass, public art with Roberto Lugo and Wanda Raimundi Ortiz, a retrospective of Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion, and a sound-sculpture with Immanuel Wilkins, Jenn Kidwell, and Rachael Elliott. Her scholarship and curatorial work have been recognized with Fulbright, NEA Dance Criticism, and DAAD fellowships with support from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, William Penn, and Knight Funds. She holds master’s degree in performance studies from NYU. Come visit ABIGAIL, her hinterland homestead for artists, activists, and academics.
