Anna Lublina (they/them) is an interdisciplinary performance maker and educator focused on building mutually beneficial relationships between humans, objects, and environments in their work and life. As the child of a Soviet Jewish immigrant, they are drawn to diaspora as a creative format and as an anti-nationalist political orientation. They reject disciplinary borders to instead explore the mutability of structure, linking social practice, object theater, dance, music, and text to create installations and performances that imagine more caring, equitable futures.
Anna’s work has been presented at various venues including St. Ann’s Warehouse, Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Judson Church, the 14th St Y, Center for Performance Research, and The Old American Can Factory, Dixon Place, The Brick, The Tank, The Pit, Vital Joint, Bread and Puppet Theater, and at the Communal Spaces Festival. Anna has been supported by fellowships and residencies such as Akademie Schloss Solitude (upcoming), Mar’a’yah Fellowship at Kunsterhaus Bethanian (2024), the LAB at the English Theater Berlin (2024), CEC Arts Link in Uzbekistan (2024), ID_Tanzhaus Frankfurt (2023), the International Jerusalem Fellowship (2022), the Annenberg Helix Fellowship at Yiddishkayt (2020-2022), Plyspace Resident Fellow (2021), LABA Fellowship at the 14th St Y (2019-2020), the St. Ann’s Warehouse Puppet Lab (2018-2019), SDCF Observership (2019-2020), the Blueprint Fellowship by COJECO, an organization that supports the Russian-speaking Jewish (RSJ) community (2019), and more.
