Artist-choreographer-performer, musician, writer.

She crafts a choreographic and musical writing that links text and body. She aims to confront the question of sexual emancipation, doubts in the face of norms, the succession of fiction and storytelling on reality, the construction and deconstruction of personal and communal identities, life in the face of death.
The body is first and foremost a medium for publishing a poetics like a way of political activism. The body-theater is able to endorse humanities and inhumanities.

She dialogues with artists from the experimental music scenes, noise scenes from which she originates and where she regularly performs as a clapper. Her creations are an invitation to listen to noises, deviant or strange sounds.

His self-taught tap dance practice (since 2012) has led him to reflect on and always re-question the production and act of sound – rhythm – and gesture embodied in a same entity. Each of her creations tends to unbridle the fracture between music and dance, the latter imbued with an extraordinary visual universe that she constructs for herself.

She begins performance work following her meeting with Antonia Baehr while studying at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Kunsthoschule Berlin-Weissensee. She joined then ESSAI at the CNDC d’Angers (2011-13) then Research at P.A.R.T.S, Brussels (2017- 18).

She has been performing the MUON S duo with musician Jean Bender since 2022. And has been performing with musician-composer Jean-Luc Guionnet since 2018. In 2022, she co-signed Une nuit entière with choreographer Tatiana Julien.
She nourishes her work and tools through her encounters with Min Tanaka and the work of Tatsumi Hijikata, the instantaneous composition she explores with Mark Tompkins and Meg Stuart, or Rosalind Crisp who combines dance and Body Mind Centering. Her creative and performance work is supported by la Ménagerie de Verre (Paris), La Soufflerie (Rezé), of which she is associate artist from 2020 to 2024, Honolulu (Nantes), La Pop (Paris), Kunstencentrum BUDA (Kortrijk), Festival NEXT, la Rose de Vents (Villeneuve d’Ascq), le Théâtre de l’Oiseau-Mouche (Roubaix), Montévidéo (Marseille), Klap Maison de la Danse (Marseille), le GMEM (Marseille), la GMEA (Albi), le GRAME (Lyon), les Instants Chavirés (Paris), Ici l’onde (Dijon), le BAL (Paris), Sonic Protest (Paris), among others.

Anna Gaïotti deploys and develops a body of writing that bears witness to the experience of her body in dance, in her intimate life during her travels and immersions on borders. Her writings are a kind of ethnological and sociological look at the question of the survival of dances and music, of the transitions and transformations which peoples and beings demonstrate, subject to the upheavals of an environment. Thus she immerses herself in the milieu of prostitution (Zürich), and later at the Ethiopian and South Sudanese borders among the Hamar and Nyangatom peoples. She passes through the prism of her body and her own erotic reality to bring about a writing that oscillates between testimony and fiction, nourished by the beliefs with which she confronts herself. Her writings are published by l’Échappée Belle and Artderien.
