I work iteratively, each piece serving as a reincarnation. Dances become phone calls. Relationships become books. The work asks for our attention. My process includes research, observation and reveling in a subtle edit’s rippling effects. Like the cycle of water, seeping, shifting and changing form, sediment is gathered and left, it is the same water, but different. I think about your body as you enter the work. The water that was in my body was once in yours. ︎ Anna Kroll’s performance work has been shown at No Theme Festival (Poughkeepsie, NY) in Philadelphia Theaters, Rivers and Subway Underpasses at FringeArts’ Scratch Night, Open Call Guerilla Outdoor Performance Festival, Invisible River’s Schuylkill River Arts Day, Cathy Weis' Sundays on Broadway (NYC), and Danspace's Draftwork series (NYC). Her pieces aqueousness (an Instagram feed), and #AllYourMarketing (a live video feed) were in the Digital Fringe portion of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Alluvium and Inlet – meditations on placemaking and bodies of water – were commissioned by the Painted Bride Art Center for their expanded archive of Philadelphia, “Re-place-ing Philadelphia”. Her looping video piece your toes, your skin, your heart, your bones was included in the online film festival “Trans(m)it”. She was the Digital Arts Technical Instructor at Bennington College (2017-2020), taught at the University of the Arts Pre-College program since 2014-2020, and recently received her MFA fromUMBC in Intermedia &amp; Digital Art. She received her BA from Bennington College and is an alum of the Headlong Performance Institute. She is in a long-term collaboration with Chloë Engel. Their work has been presented as part of re:semblance at New Media Artspace (NYC/ online), Spark IV: A New World? (Baltimore / online), The Mind on Fire Variety Show (Baltimore/online), Tendon Magazine and upcoming in Spark V.︎︎︎More info <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0204a36c167883fc1d29e5922bba89ad008a82470fe02ee7c760226122240410/E8FB4960-654D-4067-B95B-AE7D4BC70882_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="180584526" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0204a36c167883fc1d29e5922bba89ad008a82470fe02ee7c760226122240410/E8FB4960-654D-4067-B95B-AE7D4BC70882_1_105_c.jpeg" /> ︎︎︎academia.edu Press https://annakroll.com/Press Sat, 11 Mar 2023 04:26:58 +0000 Anna Kroll https://annakroll.com/Press Press Primary Sources: Materials for a New Cultural Archive "This Time suggested that time, space, and presence may be less fixed than we think" "ambitious, imaginative, and full of questions" Broad Street Review "Every crisis, every triumph, every sandwich was on display for all the world to see."

After settling in Philadelphia, 'I was constantly visiting the river and starting to realize how I use water to locate and feel connected to my surroundings.'"&nbsp; Broad Street Review "Kroll simultaneously acts as a museum curator and Avant Garde artist.

I wait. I’m stuck. I start. I start again. I feel like I’m running out of time and going way too fast. How does a body tell time? What are we noticing when we notice the passage of time? What are we feeling when we feel the passage of time? How do we know when it’s time to change? A candle slowly melting down, the tick of the clock, a fallen leaf, the sunset that will always always come – we’re immersed in the overlapping and sometimes contradicting tempos of body time, machine time, industrial time and ecological time. As You Need combines poetic text, sculptural wax and the ticking of metronomes to invite you into a space of layered rhythms, suspended time and colliding desires. “Without time there is no life.” – Alan Lightman, “Einstein’s Dreams” Holding it Together https://annakroll.com/Holding-it-Together Thu, 12 Dec 2024 14:07:26 +0000 Anna Kroll https://annakroll.com/Holding-it-Together Holding it TogetherFall 2024 Collaborative Artist in Residence at Montgomery College, Rockville<img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2cb3ce643de0d4615641070c80707942e9d812255513624133da797f80483b8/IMG_1773.JPG" data-mid="236616670" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2cb3ce643de0d4615641070c80707942e9d812255513624133da797f80483b8/IMG_1773.JPG" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2894d8f5a13be5d1daeddca2362fa7c52a788a7bbdc451fe9b3ba0e44c16804/7E88581D-862E-42E8-AB79-AAF65E7F0BFB.JPG" data-mid="223269295" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d2894d8f5a13be5d1daeddca2362fa7c52a788a7bbdc451fe9b3ba0e44c16804/7E88581D-862E-42E8-AB79-AAF65E7F0BFB.JPG" /> <img width="1537" height="2049" width_o="1537" height_o="2049" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67e70f3ccaec016f4736beebbd572e75714d44edfd3ac6f4b8b6c32f94e45c18/617AF56F-725D-4BF9-BD4A-986CDEC2B465.jpg" data-mid="223269304" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67e70f3ccaec016f4736beebbd572e75714d44edfd3ac6f4b8b6c32f94e45c18/617AF56F-725D-4BF9-BD4A-986CDEC2B465.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60b0e6be331ce7d59a8fb788f851c4312de2e3c60645c6c9ca7dc5e35c6e5b45/IMG_1915.jpeg" data-mid="236616671" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60b0e6be331ce7d59a8fb788f851c4312de2e3c60645c6c9ca7dc5e35c6e5b45/IMG_1915.jpeg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/257037a273a408cfbe4b36802841fa1b7960f71453f84a1bec69a75219984566/IMG_1911.jpeg" data-mid="236616669" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/257037a273a408cfbe4b36802841fa1b7960f71453f84a1bec69a75219984566/IMG_1911.jpeg" /> The Venn diagram is poetic. The two set, two circle version is beautiful in its simplicity, representing that two things can be in relationship without being identical. The Venn diagram is radical. During Argentina’s military dictatorship of 1976–83, Venn diagrams were banned from being taught in primary schools. It is a visual tool for thinking through common ground and difference that suggests holding, touch, commonality and connection while resisting homogeneity. I am particularly interested in the region of overlap. If you start with two seemingly unrelated elements assigned to each circle, the prompt is to fill in that shared region, to see the unobvious connections. When the set of elements gets bigger the proposition gets more complex and the commonalities become more subtle and precise. The Venn diagram is beautiful. It is a visual representation of complex ideas and their multi-set visual manifestation is still being grappled with in mathematics today. The Venn diagram as a form and the Venn diagram as a tool will be the anchor point for my residency, using it to generate projects of multiple scales. Within the framework of the Venn, we will work with imagery, text and object to propose literal, poetic, and visual overlaps. I will draw upon my own experience as an educator, facilitator and game designer to prompt creative thinking and collaboration as we work with the question: What is shared? <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/287f8354664c3e11f68ec3d3a7ad531468f4d66607e6f529207d8714a1ba6c04/06B97E1F-501E-473B-A34F-DF952027D565.JPG" data-mid="223270928" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/287f8354664c3e11f68ec3d3a7ad531468f4d66607e6f529207d8714a1ba6c04/06B97E1F-501E-473B-A34F-DF952027D565.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29151cc3bda1a891962c09dd87bdafde91bf2986fdc5a915634e4ba8a492b4fb/85785FB5-89B9-47C6-95DF-6BF91F069636.JPG" data-mid="223270931" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29151cc3bda1a891962c09dd87bdafde91bf2986fdc5a915634e4ba8a492b4fb/85785FB5-89B9-47C6-95DF-6BF91F069636.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cad3400c3d3c1edd9dbbcff0a85ce3ef542291e1254a69ba643814d675060f89/42936ECE-2BD6-4B6D-B7A3-D619607BDA5A.JPG" data-mid="223270828" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cad3400c3d3c1edd9dbbcff0a85ce3ef542291e1254a69ba643814d675060f89/42936ECE-2BD6-4B6D-B7A3-D619607BDA5A.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d9b4fb1df2036a62302acf9361490df1b02ca5fd3e3916a77e9a769dfe1283d/7AC8934B-DBD7-45DB-83B9-2DE68E88926C.JPG" data-mid="223271014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d9b4fb1df2036a62302acf9361490df1b02ca5fd3e3916a77e9a769dfe1283d/7AC8934B-DBD7-45DB-83B9-2DE68E88926C.JPG" /> student work from&nbsp; 2D Art Living Diagram&nbsp; A living sculpture of found overlaps between objects, text and images. <img width="13266" height="3770" width_o="13266" height_o="3770" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04487afa2fda9097c026ba65d8c8c6477a679f024fb6d89b039de44ed9218b79/IMG_8586.jpeg" data-mid="224480036" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04487afa2fda9097c026ba65d8c8c6477a679f024fb6d89b039de44ed9218b79/IMG_8586.jpeg" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7392dbaeadc8e38f5590e5e85cebe2174db88a0f061ee81c0a451158c3f08ca9/5FCB1AAB-8C05-42FA-9A36-A2FC29B1EA4C.JPG" data-mid="224479788" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7392dbaeadc8e38f5590e5e85cebe2174db88a0f061ee81c0a451158c3f08ca9/5FCB1AAB-8C05-42FA-9A36-A2FC29B1EA4C.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b97e767642682cb01c301a44864c067400d5d6e0f00261f82e877392c69aaa61/3492D3B3-86E5-4879-87B9-C658F3CD25ED.JPG" data-mid="224479787" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b97e767642682cb01c301a44864c067400d5d6e0f00261f82e877392c69aaa61/3492D3B3-86E5-4879-87B9-C658F3CD25ED.JPG" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a4e4cbed59745bf2c0fc3902edd90df7da4b7325d01b978b862160a6b3ced16/6360FF12-7AF6-4E18-8334-78F3DA8C9C99_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="224479779" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a4e4cbed59745bf2c0fc3902edd90df7da4b7325d01b978b862160a6b3ced16/6360FF12-7AF6-4E18-8334-78F3DA8C9C99_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="3300" height="2550" width_o="3300" height_o="2550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b0daccab2eb8bd53f46e0c44cb318bebcb250ea11c30e1bafe78c3f4c61454a9/living-diagram-map.jpg" data-mid="224479935" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b0daccab2eb8bd53f46e0c44cb318bebcb250ea11c30e1bafe78c3f4c61454a9/living-diagram-map.jpg" /> Conversational Artifacts https://annakroll.com/Conversational-Artifacts Tue, 01 Aug 2023 01:28:13 +0000 Anna Kroll https://annakroll.com/Conversational-Artifacts Conversational Artifacts in collaboration with Chloë Engel Created in conjunction with The Space is a Body and You Are In It.

Chloë Engel interviews me and I interview Chloë Engel as a way to capture our personal and collective histories and better understand how they contribute to our work together. Essays are bound together in separate orientations, physically representing the co-authorship inherent to our collaborative relationship.&nbsp; Anna, Sam, Chloë is&nbsp;a collectively edited conversation between Chloë, Sam Burhoe and I in which we grapple with power, consent, and harm in improvisational and imagined spaces.

(and world-falling apart) game designed by Anna Kroll and Chloë Engel. Developed during the early days of the pandemic when dancing together only became possible through speech, the game engages bodily awareness, the (im)possibility of a shared imagination, and coping with inevitable disaster. Consisting of The Game and Game Space, booklets of reflections and a silent video projection, these many parts combine to examine the possibilities and impossibilities of shared realities and the multitudes of “We.” ︎︎︎More here ︎︎︎Thesis Writing︎︎︎Brooklyn Rail article The Room https://annakroll.com/The-Room Sat, 11 Mar 2023 01:01:46 +0000 Anna Kroll https://annakroll.com/The-Room The Room in collaboration with Chloë Engel <img width="906" height="867" width_o="906" height_o="867" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5820cf70a9550df159a42b517f20b34a3854271b0036d1796eb51c8d1898a06/Artboard-1-100.jpg" data-mid="177674633" border="0" data-scale="31" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/906/i/f5820cf70a9550df159a42b517f20b34a3854271b0036d1796eb51c8d1898a06/Artboard-1-100.jpg" /> The Room is a practice of Collaborative Imagining*. It began between Chloë Engel and I Spring of 2020. We called each other at least once a week and spoke dances with each other.&nbsp; The Room turned into a performance, workshops, board game, and an online campaign.&nbsp; ︎︎︎More here&nbsp; *Collaborative Imagining is a practice in which two or more people collectively devise an imaginary shared experience. Interacting with and within an imaginative landscape creates opportunities for understanding ourselves and others outside of conventional logic. When relating through collaborative imagining time is malleable, sensation is magnified, and cause &amp; effect hold poetic meaning. A sigh can cause a hurricane. A tear can become a flood and suddenly you are an island.
