Russegger Anna

Anna Russegger was born and grew up in Berchtesgaden, Germany. Already as a child, she had developed a great love of theatre and dance, both as a spectator and as a performer. First, she learned the carpentry trade and then became a clown at the school for clowns in Mainz. She worked and deepened her knowledge in the field of circus and theatre pedagogy at the ZAK Cologne and at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz. She lives in Austria and works on projects in the independent theatre scene with bodi end sole Theater Hallein, Neue Bühne Villach, teatro zumbayllu, Theater Artis, Theater Rakete, and Stadttheater Klagenfurt as a performer and theatre pedagogue. At the same time, she completed the state stage matriculation examination in Vienna. She worked as a hospital clown for several years, which is one of her favourite fields of activity, as it requires a lot of heart and craftsmanship. As part of her master's degree at the Accademia Dimitri, she completed an exchange semester at the Ernst Busch Academy in Berlin, in the department of contemporary puppetry.
