Anna offers private or group lessons in person and via Skype.

The coaching method

Her coaching career started off working with Italian actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno in 1998. Throughout years of training and practice, Anna has developed a unique method. She studied with top international artists such as Jack Garfein, Susan Batson e Doris Hicks, Suzanne Shepherd, Irene Chubback, Ita O’Brien, Alwin Nikolai, Carolyn Carlson, Irene Hultman Monti, Lucie Burns, Barbara Houseman. She faithfully follows the work of Peter Brook, Yoshi Oida, Bruce Myers, Tapa Sudana, Jean Paul Denizon, Mamadou Dioume and Wim Vanderkeybus.

Anna’s work focuses on voice and body control, breathing exercises and oriental techniques for relaxation. She helps preparing for performances, memorizing scripts, self-tapes and more. She mainly worked with professional actors and recently started teaching young students, amateurs and anyone who could benefit from her tips and tricks for public speeches.

Anna hosts workshops for entire crews and has become an expert working with teenagers. For example in 2018 she held a three-months workshop for the young actors in the HBO series “My Brilliant Friend”: she dance-coached them for the fifth episode “The shoes”. In the picture below with some members of the cast, and actresses Gaia Girace and Margherita Mazzucco.
