Angel Anderson is a black womb-holding interdisciplinary artist, scholar, and aspiring archivist hailing from the south suburbs of Chicago. Her movement archive encompasses Black American street and club dance forms alongside contemporary Africanist expressions. Her work, centering on coded womanist technologies in tandem with the survival and thriving of matrilineal bloodlines, interweaves inherited cultural movement practices, Black American methods of storytelling, and coded imagery to make seen the unseen, heard the unheard, and existent the nonexistent. In love with performance, Anderson serves as a principal dancer in Rennie Harris’ Puremovement, performing in works such as Losing my Religion, American Street Dancer, Jim Has Crowed, Nutting But a Word, LIFTED, and Rome and Jewels in venues such as the Joyce Theater, ICA Boston, and the New Victory Theater. An advocate for effectively and intentionally passing down Black histories and counterhistories via education, Anderson is a third-year MFA student in the Theater and Dance department at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she is growing, strengthening, and evolving her teaching practice.
