Steckbrief / Werdegang

ANNA VALESKA POHL

is a freelance theatre & film maker, considering herself a philosopher & feminist. She is the creative mind behind her own performance group bambule.babys (https://www.bambule-babys.de/). Both as a writer-director as well as a performer she explores the codes and phenomena that define our identity in our postmodern times and beyond. She is a 'daring explorer determined to experiment'.

Anna Pohl studied in the Actor Warrior Intensive for creating theatre at Stella Adler Studio NYC in 2015 under acclaimed director John Gould Rubin, former Broadway actor Michael Milligan and collaborative theatre maker Suzi Takahashi. She also appeared in the Brooklyn underground art scene with her own performances, including street performances. Throughout Bavaria she has collaborated with different artists' collectives and has appeared in leading roles in dance theatre productions such as "Chemical Romance" and "Woyzeck".

After having founded her own group bambule.babys, Anna Pohl was the first performance artist and theatre maker to be awarded with a fellowship of the Oswald Zitzelsberger Art and Culture Foundation in Regensburg 2015/2016, as well as a residency at Virginia Center for Creative Arts, USA as a fellowship holder of Künstlerhaus Oberpfalz 2016

Anna Pohl holds a Master's degree in philosophy, classical Greek studies and modern German literature Studies of the University of Munich. Her Master thesis focuses on politics and aesthetics in the work of Hannah Arendt. Her artistic work is based on her studies in Greek mythology and tragedy and continues to be inspired by modern theory and philosophy.

In addition she works with adolescents, disabled people and prisoners on devised theatre projects and short films.
