Anna Chiedza
Spörri Choreography

Anna Chiedza Spörri has been active in the Swiss dance scene for over fifteen years. She started with hip hop in Bern and then completed the international training programme at Peri Dance in New York, where she immersed herself not only in hip hop but also in other styles. In Los Angeles, she attended two programmes by choreographer Rhapsody James, a pioneer of the street dance scene. She continued her training in renowned studios in New York, Los Angeles and London. In 2019 she moved to London to further her career internationally, she now commutes between London and Switzerland, using her diverse dance background in various productions. Anna focuses on activist art. She fuses her dance styles and creates her own movement quality, working with text and spoken word. Her background in social anthropology informs her art and she often explores issues of identity, delving into very personal themes and creating an intimacy with her pieces that encourages the questioning of one's own norms. Anna reflects on her realities in her art and aims to create access for POC arts practitioners and promote empowerment. She is currently touring Switzerland with her own piece 'Perspectives' and internationally with the company MEK and Father Politics.
