Annie Wang

Annie MingHao Wang (she/they) is a choreographer/dancer based in New York. Held Artist-In-Residencies at Movement Research, Topaz Arts, Marble House Project, Leimay, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Awarded grants by LMCC and Brooklyn Arts Council, their work has been presented by Pioneers Go East, Movement Research, Leimay, Five Myles, and the Exponential Festival. Annie also dances for Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance Group, Sugar Vendil, and Marie Lloyd Paspé.

In their newest work, Annie is building both dance phrases and textile objects in response to their research into Chinese textile histories and iconic garments like quilted jackets and qipao. The physical actions are inspired from the motions, sensations, and patterning logic of textile work. The objects will lead me into the final visual design while also driving choreographic inspiration. They're excited for the space and time at Bogliasco to resonate with dance and objects and envision them as a whole piece.
