SHILA ANARAKI – dancer-performer-choreographer
German dancer and choreographer Shila Anaraki (1976) followed her dance studies at the Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten and the Rotterdamse Dansacademie. She has intensively worked with theatre directors and choreographers in Germany, Holland and Belgium (Heike Langsdorf&Ula Sickle, Wanda Golonka/Schauspiel Frankfurt, Les Ballets C. de la B, Adva Zakai, Jo Fabian Department, Company Vivienne Newport, Kris Verdonck, Armel Roussel/Utopia2 and others).
Shila advised artists such as Johanne Saunier (Charleroi/Danses), Heike Langsdorf&Ula Sickle and Adva Zakai in their creations, and taught Master classes at the Piet Zwart Instituut Rotterdam to the MA Fine Arts, Queen’s University Belfast and the Foundation for International Education in London.
In recent years, an important part of her work has been dedicated to the contemporary music field. She is cofounder and collaborator of the Letter Piece Company and InterInterInter, an interdisciplinary group of musicians, composers, performers and bookprinters. She worked as a performer or assistant with composers David Helbich, Matthew Shlomowitz, Paul Craenen, Paolo Pacchini, Cathy van Eck, Alvin Curran and George Aperghis. The interdisciplinary, confusing nature of these collaborations often leads to hybrid works, in which the conventional roles of the dancer or musician fade or are given up completely.
