Anna Stiede
Anna Stiede, born in 1987 in Jena (GDR), is a freelance performer, moderator and curator. She combines many years of experience as a political educator and communication trainer with tools from the performing arts. In 2019 she became part of the theater collective Panzerkreuzer Rotkäppchen.
The motor of her artistic praxis is the struggle for socio-erotic bodies. In her many years of collaboration with the Italian Istituto Istoreco (Reggio Emilia) she has collected stories of social movements through intensive work with contemporary witnesses. She is interested in the everyday life, body and machine knowledge, grey areas, marketplaces, ambiguities, time holes and mistakes. She uses theater as a method to examine social conditions, to investigate the unsayable and to try out utopias. In doing so, she explores the boundaries of the stage and the body in order to break up the relationship between the audience and the stage space.
